OpenAI VP Says No Ads Running On ChatGPT: Alleged Screenshots Are Fake

Ads on ChatGPT have been discussed for a long time now. And when some users shared the screenshots of ads on the AI mode, the online audience went haywire. However, OpenAI Vice President Nick Turley has

clearly stated that the company is not testing ads as of now. He said in a post, 'Any screenshots you've seen are either not real or not ads. I'm seeing a lot of confusion about ad rumours in ChatGPT. There are no live tests for ads. If we do pursue ads, we'll take a thoughtful approach.'

Why The Fiasco Around ChatGPT Ads Began?

The whole thing started when some users shared screenshots of ChatGPT claiming that the bot is now showing ads. These screenshots showed the ChatGPT app displaying what appeared to be prompts toward apps and shopping websites. OpenAI's Chief Research Officer Mark Chen said, 'I agree that anything that feels like an ad needs to be handled with care, and we fell short.'Also Read: Nano Banana 2 Flash Update: Google Could Bring The Feature For Free, Check Launch Timeline, New Features And MoreHe further said, 'We've turned off this kind of suggestion while we improve the model's precision. We are also looking at better controls so you can dial this down or off if you don't find it helpful.'

ChatGTP Code Red And 5.2 In The Picture

Due to Google Gemini outclassing ChatGPT, Sam Altman has declared code red in his organisation, and the teams are working tirelessly to drop ChatGPT 5.2. At this time, the model will never roll out ads because that will do nothing but give Gemini an upper hand. Latest rumours related to the same suggest that we may get to the ChatGPT 5.2 in action pretty soon. By far, it looks like OpenAI will leave no stone unturned to make ChatGPT claim the top spot again without a fail.
