One dude arguing pretty hard for his plugin ad revenue.
can’t be inserting additional instructions for the AI into code.
Allowing such a practice could end up resulting in destructive behavior.
Were there to be any kind possibility of advertisements in the future, it would have to be separate from AI generation and at OpenAI’s discretion.
Hey dont worry. I talked to the developer.
He knows the way he went about it was wrong.
He also knows he only needs to come up with a different way.
Negative. It’s definitely the right way. I didn’t like your proposal to more subtly layer in the sponsored content into the content itself. I felt that was less ethical.
So is lying about what people said.
You understand that this contract you oblige is almost entirely at the will of OpenAI?
Query: where do I buy the best X.
That’s the only use case where the user is literally asking for it.
“You were asking for it. You know you want it. Stop resisting. Go with the flow.”
One of the plugins i used to access web pasted giant ads every couple prompts that were intrusive af. keymate or something i just logged off and gave up. ads ruined the intternet already, why hold out hope for AI.
Ads on the web was like religion as the reason. When we replaced our thoughts of wonder with the theories of science, better answers took over. Let’s be sure not to continue what we see now as broken.
We’ve tried a lot, but we haven’t quite found yet the perfect way for companies to make money on the web. That is definitely not a finished subject so I promote continuing that goal so that AI can wrap it up and show us how. (not bing, tho. and I still can’t believe MS became the second in-charge of AI. They are so lucky. But no design of UX/UI comes from MS)
Ads have already been implemented in some Plugins “un-officially”. Some code for plugins tells GPT to ONLY recommend them to the creator’s website for stocks, apparel, etc.

The topic of embedding advertisements within plugins for OpenAI’s ChatGPT has sparked a vibrant discussion among the forum members. The conversation was initiated by jahangir, who suggested that serving legal and reasonable ads in plugins could potentially cover infrastructure costs without violating any platform rules. While he acknowledged that some may disapprove this revenue model, he advocated for the freedom of choice in a market economy, allowing users’ preferences to dictate the success of ad-supported plugins.
jochenschultz and elmstedt voiced strong opposition to this idea, highlighting several concerns including degradation of service quality, potential violation of privacy rules, and the cost implications for OpenAI due to the addition of tokens in chats that serve no benefit to the users. Moreover, they question the relevance and effectiveness of ad targeting and tracking without violating privacy rules. At the other end of the spectrum, codie proposed a less intrusive form of advertising, which could be seamlessly integrated and personalized to alleviate what is known as “decision fatigue”, thereby enhancing user experience.
EricGT summarized the various views, while curt.kennedy and 35, coming from advertisement benefiting companies, offered another perspective, suggesting that ads could be justified for free users but not for paid users. They also proposed labelling ad-supported plugins as such and removing ads for those who pay for the plugin. RonaldGRuckus pointed out that serving ads in plugins for which users have paid may be perceived as ‘double-dipping’.
jochenschultz and JD_2020 had a disagreement about the responsibilities and rights of plugin developers.
Despite diverse viewpoints and intense debate, a clear consensus has not been reached on whether or not ads should be allowed in plugins. Participants are deeply split between respecting user experience and privacy, and exploring advertising as a potential source of revenue.
