A recent report from the Financial Times just spoke about the firm’s CFO experimenting with a new ads business model. While nothing is final yet, the company seems to be busy weighing in on the prospects.
This includes considering where the ads would appear and how frequently they would be seen. For now, CFO Sarah Friar says no active decision was made on the ordeal. However, that does not mean the idea isn’t possible.
So far, OpenAI has gone strong in terms of subscriptions to give more support to Generative AI tools. However, the expenses related to production and service are very high. Moreover, it might be hard to convince the investors of today to say yes to the plan.
Whatever the case might be, it’s quite the opposite of what OpenAI’s founder wanted. We’ve seen Sam Altman mention time after time in interviews how ads would be the final option for the company. He never said the idea was not possible but if it were up to him, it would be the last resort. Similarly, Altman expressed his opinion on why he detests advertising models. For him, it’s a personal preference that’s unsettling.
