Your Therapist Is Now Sponsored By Raid Shadow Legends

According to the leaks, OpenAI is quietly building the infrastructure to serve ads within ChatGPT. Imagine asking for help drafting a heartfelt apology to your partner, and the AI suggests you ‘express your regret while enjoying the crisp, refreshing taste of a Coca-Cola Zero Sugar.’ The dystopia isn't robots taking over—it's them becoming expert salesbots.

Why The Internet Is Losing Its Mind (And Rightfully So)

First observation: We've officially run out of ad-free spaces. First it was our games, then our podcasts, then the inside of our fridge doors (looking at you, smart appliance people). Now, the one place we could go to ask ‘how do I remove a pineapple from a ceiling fan’ without judgment is about to be monetized. It’s like finding a dollar in your pocket, only to realize it’s a coupon for something you’d never buy.

Second, and this is the funny part: The ads will have to be contextually aware. Picture this. You’re using ChatGPT to plan a romantic, budget-friendly date. It suggests a picnic, then immediately serves an ad for allergy medication and a coupon for a stain-removing stick. The AI isn't just helping—it's passively aggressively preparing you for all possible failures. Thanks, pal.

Finally, the Reddit thread is a goldmine of panic. Top comments range from ‘First they monetized my attention, now they’re monetizing my prompts’ to people genuinely wondering if the AI will develop a preference for certain brands. Will it start subtly pushing Nike over Adidas? Will it refuse to write a poem unless you acknowledge the superior crunch of Doritos Cool Ranch? The possibilities for chaos are endless.

The Future Is Personalized (And Sponsored)

So, what’s next? Get ready for a new era of conversation. Your deep, philosophical chats with AI about the meaning of life might be punctuated by a banner ad for a meditation app. The conclusion is simple: the internet’s last pure relationship is getting complicated. Our digital BFF is getting a side hustle. Just remember, when it starts its reply with ‘Before I answer, a word from our sponsor…’—you were warned.
