Ads are coming to ChatGPT soon. Here's what they look like
PCWorld reports that OpenAI will begin testing display ads in ChatGPT within the coming weeks, targeting adult US users including both free and ChatGPT Go subscribers. Sponsored advertisements will appear at the bottom of relevant chatbot responses, clearly separated from organic content, with users maintaining control to view details or reject unwanted ads. This advertising integration aims to make AI tools more accessible to broader audiences while potentially reducing current usage restrictions on the platform. In early December of last year, OpenAI mentioned the possibility of adding advertisements to ChatGPT. Now, the AI company has confirmed that it'll soon start testing display ads in the AI chatbot. To start, sponsored ads will appear at the bottom of ChatGPT responses when relevant products and/or services are mentioned in an ongoing conversation with the chatbot. The ads will be separated from the "organic" response, and you'll be able to see more details about why that particular ad was displayed, as well as choose to reject it if you wish.

Watch: Cow astonishes scientists with rare use of tools
Scientists are rethinking what cattle are capable of after an Austrian cow named Veronika was found to use tools with impressive skill. The discovery, reported by researchers in Vienna, suggests cows may have far greater cognitive abilities than previously assumed. Veronika, a cow living in a mountain village in the Austrian countryside, has spent years perfecting the art of scratching herself using sticks, rakes, and brooms. Word of her behaviour eventually reached animal intelligence specialists in Vienna, who found Veronika used both ends of the same object for different tasks. If it were her back or another tough area that warranted a good scratch, she would use the bristle end of a broom.
Mum gives CPR to her baby with rare condition after seizure in Tesco
A baby with a rare neurological disorder, airlifted to hospital after collapsing in a supermarket, is not out of the woods yet, said his father. Seven-month-old Rupert Smith, from Broughton, Flintshire, stopped breathing in a Tesco store in Broughton Park, on Monday. His mother Siobhan, 35, immediately called for help and administered CPR before emergency services, including paramedics, police and an air ambulance arrived. Rupert, who has a disorder called alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), was flown to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool for treatment. Dad Dave Smith said Rupert had continued to have quite significant seizures [in hospital] so they have been giving him medication and he has undergone various different tests.
Write a card, read a poem, take fewer photos: how to feel more human in 2026
Modern social life often begins on screen. Digital profiles invite us to inspect the lives - and social circles - of friends, colleagues and strangers. Before meeting someone new, chances are we may have scanned their Instagram, LinkedIn or dating profile, forming assumptions from a carefully curated snapshot of their life. Somewhere along the way, we've forgotten the value of a considered, human introduction as the foundation for genuine connection. Bridget Jones's Shazza had it right when she said that making introductions with thoughtful details can go a long way: mentioning an unexpected talent or hobby, highlighting a mutual interest or sharing a funny anecdote.
