OpenAI adds visual ads after image generation results
OpenAI is rolling out a new type of advertising tied to its image generation tools. According to TechCrunch, these visual ads will appear right after a user's image generation results show up, meaning the ads are placed alongside the pictures the AI creates. For now, OpenAI says this feature is limited to the U.S. only. The move signals how OpenAI may be looking for new ways to earn money from its popular image tools, beyond subscriptions or direct product sales. It could also change how users experience image generation, since ads will now appear as part of that process, at least for American users initially.
