We are starting to test ads in ChatGPT free and Go (new $8/month option) tiers.Here are our principles. Most importantly, we will not accept money to influence the answer ChatGPT gives you, and we keep your conversations private from advertisers.It is clear to us that a lot of people want to use a lot of AI and don't want to pay, so we are are hopeful a business model like this can work.(An example of ads I like are on Instagram, where I've found stuff I like that I otherwise never would have. We will try to make ads ever more useful to users.)
It's not related to the chip industry, but it does have an impact on the industry. It either increases the demand for more compute, thus AI chips, or this is the last resort for Sam to get the money he needs to push OpenAI forward.
There's another possibility that an AI crash is coming, like the Dotcom bubble, and companies are trying to cash in as soon as they can and hopefully survive the crash.
Not that I think there's anything wrong with ads. Google and Meta made their money purely on ads.
