Will ChatGPT make personalized ads opt-in for US free and Go users?

🤖 Context

YES if, no later than October 15, 2026, OpenAI's publicly accessible product documentation, support pages, an OpenAI blog post, or an OpenAI press release state that for users located in the United States on the free or "Go" ($8/mo) tiers personalized ads are not enabled by default and require an explicit opt‑in. Removal of all ads for those tiers by that date also counts as YES. Private or internal A/B tests that are not publicly documented do not count, and if the change applies only to a subset of U.S. users it counts only if it is described as the default for U.S. users generally.
