ChatGPT Ad Tests Signal Emergence of an AI Ad Market

TL;DR Summary
OpenAI is testing ads inside ChatGPT, expanding from early February trials to a broader ad platform. Ads are still rare (about 1–2% of prompts, often one per conversation) and currently skew toward software tools and travel brands, with health ads notably scarce. Advertisers can’t access chats, and OpenAI says the effort is in early days and designed to be non-intrusive, as the AI chat platform with nearly 1 billion weekly users eyes monetization opportunities.
