Better title: ChatGPT Ads reaches $1 billion in annualized revenue run rate in 200 days https://lnkd.in/p/g5SMjvsD

"Protecting the trust people place in ChatGPT remains our North Star." "North Star" is such a load-bearing image! Grok also likes it (distilled?). "Recent examples include an ecommerce advertiser achieving a 3x return on ad spend across its campaigns over 28 days" Musk envy? He just tweeted the exact same about X ad sales. I would like to see examples of ads, but since OpenAI is not open access and requires an account for tracking, I suppose the access has not been expanded enough.

"Protecting the trust people place in ChatGPT remains our North Star." ... being something the traveller never reaches. How apt.

That 1 billion seems… kinda low. Considering everyone is spilling their life to ChatGPT.

Awesome... > Our next phase of growth will bring ChatGPT Ads to more markets and introduce additional formats, objectives, buying options, and measurement capabilities. Oh, not THAT kind of expanding access - the OTHER one.
