Here's what it means for your business.
OpenAI is testing ads in ChatGPT's free and Go tiers starting next month.
Most people are complaining about the ads. If you're using AI to run your business, you should be paying attention to what this signals instead.
The free tier isn't for professionals anymore. OpenAI just drew the line: free/go accounts are for casual users. If you're using ChatGPT for client work, lead follow-up, or contract analysis, you're going to want to upgrade to be on Plus. (At least for now, plus accounts are free of ads.)
$20/month isn't the barrier. Treating your business tools like a trial account is.
Are you on a paid tier or still running free accounts for business work? ๐
