New on the blog: ChatGPT Ads Hit $1 Billion. Your Assignment Still Asks for the Answer.

OpenAI published its ChatGPT Ads numbers on August 31. Everyone quoted the revenue figure. The line that matters for teaching is in the last section, where the company says it will explore new ways for businesses to interact with people in more native ways inside ChatGPT.

Ads today are labeled and separate from the answers, and OpenAI says advertising does not influence those answers. Take that at face value. The label is doing the work. Native means the label stops being the separation.

The response is not a ban and it is not a detector. It is one editing pass on the assignment.
