00:00Goodbye ad free chat GPT. Well, unless you pay. OpenAI has announced that it will test ads in

00:06the free version starting in the US. Here's what you should know. OpenAI says ads will be clearly

00:11labeled and will appear at the bottom of answers only when a relevant sponsored product or service

00:16matches the conversation. But here's the catch. To decide whether an ad is relevant, OpenAI must

00:21analyze the content of the conversation itself. According to the company, conversations are kept

00:26private from advertisers and will not be sold. But concerns remain, especially as people turn

00:32to chat GPT for personal and sensitive topics like health questions, job or relationship advice.

00:38The company also stresses that ads will not influence chat GPT's responses. OpenAI says the move is

00:44necessary to cover the company's skyrocketing energy bills for its AI data centers. So will you tolerate

00:51OpenAI reading your conversations or would you rather pay for an ad free version? Let us know

00:56in the comments.
