OpenAI Introduces Ads for ChatGPT Users in India on Free and Go Plans
OpenAI is introducing ads to ChatGPT users in India, informing some through emails about updates to its Privacy Policy. Ads will appear on the Free and ChatGPT Go plans, while paid plans like Plus and Pro remain ad-free. This rollout follows testing in other countries, including the US, UK, and Japan. OpenAI states that ads will be clearly labeled and will not influence ChatGPT's responses, aiming to maintain user experience despite the new advertising feature.
