ChatGPT just landed ads, now Google won’t rule out ads in the Gemini app, of course

Google did not rule out ads in the Gemini app, saying it may use ad formats proven first in AI Mode.

Alphabet said it is focused now on the free tier, subscriptions, and monetizing AI Mode in Search.

The company is moving cautiously as chatbot ad effectiveness is still unclear and OpenAI begins testing ads in ChatGPT.

The comments suggest major AI assistants may eventually lean on advertising to support free access.
