Odaily News: OpenAI founder Sam Altman posted on platform X to address privacy concerns regarding the advertising plan. He stated that the reason ChatGPT is testing advertising features is because many users want to use AI frequently but are unwilling to pay. The team hopes to explore viable commercial paths through the advertising model. Regarding privacy concerns, ChatGPT's ad placements will adhere to clear principles: it will never accept any paid actions influencing ChatGPT's responses, and user conversation content will remain invisible to advertisers.
