Recent leaks suggest that OpenAI is testing advertisements within the ChatGPT app on the Android beta version (1.2025.329), according to tech account Tibor Blaho on X
More to Know:
– The source noted that these experiments may be nothing more than early-stage testing and not necessarily an indication of a full rollout.
– The leak surfaced shortly after OpenAI introduced its new shopping search feature in ChatGPT, which offers a more personalized shopping experience.
Why It Matter?
The timing is significant given 2024 statistics showing that the AI model handles 2.5 billion prompt daily, racks up 5 to 6 billion monthly visits, and reaches 800 million weekly users. This massive user base means the company has all the necessary components to start targeting users and the only thing left is to officially greenlight the move.
