来源：环球网 【环球网科技综合报道】2月10日消息，据9to5mac报道，一位匿名知情人士透露，OpenAI已经正式启 动ChatGPT内部广告测试，成为生成式AI领域首个尝试商业化广告的头部企业。 OpenAI强调，此次测试为"初步探索阶段"，部分实现细节（如广告主筛选、频次控制）或在未来数周 至数月内调整，但"广告作为产品生态一部分"的定位不会改变。 尽管广告被视为OpenAI规模化盈利的重要路径，但知情人士称，该公司预计长期广告收入占比将低于 总营收的50%，其余收入可能来自企业级API服务、订阅制（如ChatGPT Plus）及定制化AI解决方案。 值得关注的是，就在OpenAI启动测试前一日（超级碗赛事期间），其竞争对手Anthropic投放了一则引 发争议的广告，画面中仅显示文字"人工智能领域禁止广告"（No Ads in AI），被广泛解读为针对 OpenAI的直接回应。（青山） 此前，该公司曾公开承诺广告将"清晰标识、仅置于回答底部且不影响内容生成"，此次测试被视为其探 索AI产品盈利模式的关键一步。 根据OpenAI上月披露的方案，广告将仅出现在ChatGPT聊天窗口的回答区域底部，以非侵入 ...
