ChatGPT thinks I‘m 5 because I added “ELI5” to a few of my prompts.
replyDude this is the funniest comment I've read this month. Thank you
replyIncredibly Reddit-brained, if you're serious. Just say "explain, in simple terms, this thing," then ask follow-up questions on the parts you still struggle to grasp. It works for me - one of the things I find LLMs are quite good at, really.
replyFor now, but then again they weren't going to show ads at all according to ppl in this topic.
replyJust look at all those paying customers, dropping hundreds of dollars on our models every single month. Think of all the disposable income they must have! Are really NOT going to advertise to them?! We're leaving money on the table here!
replyCue advertising for all the "subsidized" plans.
For now at least, it seems the paying customers don't see ads.
reply Who may see ads
We do not show ads to users on Plus, Pro, or any Business plan,
or to any users who tell us or we predict are under the age of 18.
"In a fight, who would win, Pikachu or Spongebob Squarepants?
replyWhat is the best episode of Bluey?
What are the IRS' exact rules for claiming office space as a deduction on my tax return?
Where can I stream Sesame Street for free?"
Ah, ad dodging, the true 21st century gridiron.
Funnily those are the customers you would most want to target with ads since they should have money

replyNot yet!
“In order to serve our customers better, we are phasing out the ‘Pro’ and ‘Plus’ plans, which will be replaced with new ‘Premium’ and ‘Extra’ plans. In addition, our ‘Business’ plans are now being replaced by improved ‘Corporate’ plans.”
replyIf other subscription services are anything to go by, I expect that business subscriptions will be free of ads. Personal subs will initially be free of ads, but ads will slowly be added, starting with the cheapest subscription and working their way up.
replyThere’s an OpenAI slide deck sitting in Goldman’s IPO preparation department right now with a pair of bullet points that read
reply>Q3 2027, introduce ‘ad-enhanced’ paid subscription tier
>Q2 2029, complete ad rollout to all paid subscribers
Is this real or a joke?
replyEnshittification
replyExcept this time the product can be replicated with a delay of some months, without ads, and open weights
If you think about it, it's actually pretty odd that professional businesses are reliant on ad-supported services (i.e. Google) for their employees to get work done.
replyLike it would be weird if you were a professional music reviewer and your employer expected you to use an ad-supported Spotify subscription.
I did see the ads on the free side a week ago. I guess I was a victim of A/B testing but I was too lazy to login for a simple prompt.
replyYeah I'm kind of confused about this announcement because I started seeing ads on ChatGPT like 6 months ago. It's the reason I switched to paying, so I wouldn't have to see them anymore.
