OpenAI's new sponsored agents are happy to chat about selling you things

OpenAI is testing sponsored agents for select U.S. advertisers, integrating advertising capabilities into ChatGPT similar to Google and Meta Platforms. This new feature allows advertisers to utilize AI tools to create their ads. When users click on these sponsored advertisements, they can engage in direct conversations with an AI agent to ask follow-up questions about products. This move enables brands to leverage bot-crafted interactions to sell items and engage users within the ChatGPT ecosystem.
