ChatGPT serves ads. Here's the full attribution loop | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread speculates that ChatGPT may be moving toward ad-supported monetization.

Commenters debate how an ad-serving system could be built while keeping ad attribution separate from model responses.

The discussion reflects wider concerns that ads could change product quality, trust, and the incentives behind AI assistants.

If true, it would mark a shift from free-tier AI access toward a more commercial, ad-driven model.
