ChatGPT head Nick Turley said he’s “humble enough not to rule it out categorically,” but hedged that OpenAI would need to “be very thoughtful and tasteful” about how ads could be integrated into ChatGPT.

You can tastefully go fuck yourself.

In fairness, I don't know that any AI service that starts barfing ads can be said to enshittify, since it was already shitty to begin with. I guess the ads are par for the course...

It's very obvious that they are going for the ad market. It's the only way their business model makes any amount of sense, especially now that they're intentionally tanking (commoditizing) the API market under Anthropic's feet.

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
