   So basically the same kind of tracking that Facebook, Google, etc have been doing for decades?

      Similar, yes, but some people are paying OpenAI to be part of this business model, unlike typical free-riding Google and Facebook users.

         If you pay OpenAI full price, this machinery should never be used. The only paying customers getting ads are the “ad supported” tier.

         I think you can easily imagine a future where the subscription model token subsidy ramps down and is replaced by ads, but it’s important to use precise language about the current state of the world.

            Yes, “Go” plan users pay and also receive ads. They pay less.
