OpenAI is experimenting with displaying labeled ads in ChatGPT while maintaining user privacy and control.

The emphasis on privacy and user control suggests OpenAI aims to avoid disrupting core functionality, but ad integration may still require adjustments in how applications handle ChatGPT outputs.
