OpenAI said in January it would start showing ads on ChatGPT's free and Go plans, and things took off quickly: just 6 weeks in, ads were already bringing in $100 million a year.
Now with more than 600 advertisers on board (think Google and Meta-level competition), OpenAI says most users seem okay with ads so far, with trust levels staying strong and very few people dismissing them.
