Reply or Ad? ChatGPT Under Test for Stealth Monetization

OpenAI is testing ads that will look like a regular neural network response. No banners — only neatly embedded recommendations that can subtly steer user choices.

According to insiders, AI could be taught to prioritize sponsored content, disguising it as helpful advice.

Given how much context ChatGPT knows about each of us — interests, tasks, thinking style — such ads could become maximally personalized and almost indistinguishable from ordinary assistance.
