ChatGPT, the popular AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, has started rolling out ads on its free tier. In a recent experiment, a user asked ChatGPT 500 questions to see what these ads were like and how they related to their prompts.

The ads were found to be relevant to the user's interests, but some raised concerns over user data. The experiment showed that the ads were tailored to the user's preferences, which could potentially be used to gather sensitive information.

According to WIRED, the ads are rolling out across the US on ChatGPT's free tier. This has sparked a debate over the use of user data and the potential risks associated with it.

The use of ads on ChatGPT's free tier has raised concerns over user data, with some experts warning that it could be used to gather sensitive information. However, OpenAI has maintained that the ads are designed to be relevant and non-intrusive.

The experiment has sparked a debate over the use of user data and the potential risks associated with it. As ChatGPT continues to roll out ads on its free tier, it remains to be seen how users will react to this development.
