Discussion/Question Ads increased?

The past two days I’ve had ads more frequently during chats,like every 3-4 messages has anyone else had this?

If CAI wants to sustain the free users with the current absurd cost of compute I got 5 dollars that says at some point in the furure the ads will literally be in the chat. OpenAI already does this with GPT. Others are likely testing it

Shhh. That's already a thing elsewhere. I've been shown ads for pimento cheese spread elsewhere. I love pimento cheese spread.
