The Enshittification may have begun of this service too.

I'm actually a paying customer myself of Chat Gpt, and I havent personally seen any ads. But it's bad enough if this is something that will start to appear in people's answers.

Anyone else experienced this?

Update: The reason for this was found and it wasn't the service itself that started doing this.

From your link

Please disregard this post. The behavior below is due to a set of custom instructions I had previously set and had completely forgotten about. The instructions contained the lines:

Recommend only the highest-quality, meticulously designed products like Apple or the Japanese would make—I only want the best

Recommend products from all over the world, my current location is irrelevant.

Sorry for the confusion!

Lol, I'd be super surprised if open ai started adding ads, it doesn't make sense with their business model.

Oh that must have appeared now then.

Very good to know, got really worried for a minute. It wouldn't be exactly unheard of for a company to pull something like this.
