OpenAI is introducing a new ad format in ChatGPT that will place images of sponsored products and services on users' screens. The company will begin testing the ads in the United States later this month, with the sponsored images initially appearing when users generate images with the chatbot. The move marks another step in OpenAI's push to monetize ChatGPT, and is drawing criticism from users who see advertising as an intrusion into an AI assistant.

Why now: People are reacting to the news that advertising will be embedded directly into ChatGPT interactions.
