ChatGPT Now Serves Ads While You Generate Images
OpenAI is starting US tests in October of a visual ad format in ChatGPT that displays clearly labeled ads and product carousels on the image generation loading screen.

š„ What happened
OpenAI is testing visual ads inside ChatGPT during image generation, starting this month in the U.S. with a small group of advertisers. The ads are clearly labeled and kept separate from the generated image.
š” Why it matters
ChatGPT hits 1.2 billion weekly users, and OpenAI is now building a serious ad business around them. New measurement partners like AppsFlyer, Adjust, and DoubleVerify will track whether those ads actually drive purchases.
ā” Our take
If you thought ChatGPT was a neutral tool, think again. Once ads enter the creative flow, the assistant quietly becomes a billboard.
