Show HN: OpenAI to show ads in ChatGPT for logged-in U.S. adults

It appears OpenAI is testing or planning to introduce ads inside ChatGPT for logged-in users in the U.S. From what I can tell, ads would appear in limited placements and not affect free access immediately, but this raises questions about product direction, user experience, privacy, and long-term incentives.

Curious how others here feel about ads inside AI tools:

1.Would this change how you use ChatGPT?

2.Are ads inevitable for consumer AI products?

3.What would be an acceptable implementation?
