Idea of ads in Chatgpt
Currently, as artificial intelligence companies are trying to turn new technologies into profitable models, a former OpenAI researcher has an important warning. Zoe Hitzig, who recently parted ways with OpenAI, has expressed strong objections to the idea of adding advertising to ChatGPIT. He says that this chatbot has now become a unique collection of people’s personal information.
Collection of users’ personal information
Hitzig’s concerns aren’t limited to banner ads or sponsored answers. Their focus is on what types of things users have shared with ChatGPT over the years. Unlike social media posts, conversations with AI are often personal, direct, and without pretense. People have been considering it as a safe medium and openly questioning their health, relationships, faith, identity and personal problems.
Potential effects of advertising
Joe Hitzig noted that ChatGPT users have shared a level of human honesty and openness that has never been seen before. People felt that they were talking to a system that had no hidden agenda. If advertisements are created based on this personal data, it could create new possibilities for influencing users, which there are currently no adequate means to deal with.
OpenAI status
According to the information, OpenAI has already indicated that it may test ads in ChatGPT. The company says that it will not share user conversations with advertisers nor sell data. However, Hitzig argues that this is not a problem of today, but of the future. According to him, as advertisements become part of earnings, institutional priorities may gradually change.
Need for independent monitoring
He also said that even if current management intends to set clear boundaries, business pressures may weaken those rules over time. In this context, he stressed the need for independent monitoring mechanisms or legal frameworks so that user data can be protected in the public interest above profits.
User feedback
Experts believe that this debate is not limited to OpenAI only. Many surveys show that a large number of users will continue to use free AI tools despite advertisements. This reflects a kind of ‘privacy fatigue’, where people are unwilling to give up the feature despite the inconvenience.
Chatgpt development
Overall, ChatGPT is no longer just a technical tool. It is becoming a teacher, assistant, advisor and brainstorming partner. In such a situation, entry of advertisements on this platform has emerged as not just a business decision, but a big question related to trust and impact.
