ChatGPT Ads Are Not Contextual

ChatGPT's contextual ads may not be as contextual as claimed, as the system remembers user conversations and uses that information to serve ads. This raises concerns about user privacy and the definition of 'contextual' in AI advertising. OpenAI insists ads won't influence chatbot responses or sell user data, but the distinction between contextual relevance and behavioural profiling is unclear. The system's persistent memory system and use of past conversations to shape responses make traditional contextual advertising frameworks less applicable. Users should be cautious and scrutinize OpenAI's claims.
