OpenAI is refining the way ChatGPT functions to bring in more money, including a new $8 ChatGPT Go tier and the introduction of advertising at the bottom of queries for free users.

ChatGPT has, for quite some time, provided a number of paid tiers alongside its free service. However, with the ever-present expense of running AI continuing to apply pressure to OpenAI’s finances, it’s doing two things that should help earn it a bit more cash.
The first change is the introduction of advertising. On Friday, OpenAI confirmed that it will be bringing marketing spots to ChatGPT on some of its cheaper service tiers. The lengthy update from the company explains that the ads are in testing, and will initially roll out to U.S. users in the coming weeks.
