Ads appearing in its responses marks a significant moment for the future of AI monetization \u2014 and a potential shift in how brands reach consumers at the point of inquiry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Between the lines<\/strong>. The immediacy of the ad trigger suggests OpenAI is treating single, high-intent prompts \u2014 not just sustained conversations \u2014 as viable ad inventory.
