OpenAI says it’s turned off app suggestions that look like ads

OpenAI has switched off app suggestions in ChatGPT after users complained they looked like ads. Although OpenAI says there are no ads or ad tests running, senior leaders admitted the system “fell short” and created an experience that felt promotional. The company says the suggestions were only meant to highlight apps built on the ChatGPT platform and had no financial component. Executives confirmed they’re improving accuracy and will add controls so users can turn suggestions off. Meanwhile, a report says Sam Altman has declared a “code red,” shifting focus back to improving ChatGPT quality and delaying advertising plans. READ MORE

Here are 5 reasons why it matters:

• User trust is on the line: People pay for ChatGPT because they expect a clean, unbiased experience. Anything that feels like advertising risks damaging that trust.

• Signals a shift in OpenAI’s priorities: Altman putting advertising on hold to fix quality shows the company knows user experience is its core product, not ads.

• Impacts the future of AI monetisation: How OpenAI handles ads sets the tone for the entire industry. A misstep here could shape how other AI companies approach monetisation.

• Creates tension with investors: OpenAI was expected to build a strong ads business, especially after hiring an advertising-focused exec. Pulling back could alter revenue expectations.

• Highlights how sensitive AI platforms are to user perception: Even small promotional elements created backlash. This shows how careful AI companies must be when introducing commercial features into conversational interfaces.

Meta reportedly plans to slash Metaverse budget by up to 30%

Meta is considering cutting the budget for its Metaverse division by up to 30 percent, according to Bloomberg. The proposed reduction would likely include layoffs and reflects the weak interest in Horizon Worlds and Meta’s VR hardware. Since the 2021 rebrand, investors have questioned the company’s heavy spending on Metaverse projects, which continue to lose billions each quarter. Meta’s AI and smart glasses efforts have performed better, although investors still think the overall investment plan is too aggressive. Despite the concerns, Meta’s share price went up after the news broke. READ MORE

“A hyper-realistic surreal composition where the Subject[Person in the image] appears to physically emerge from a smartphone screen in a perfectly aligned overhead shot. The photographer's hands grip the centered phone from the bottom edge, with the black sleeve and gold ring clearly visible, creating a grounded foreground layer. Inside the phone's 4:3 preview, the Subject's lower body remains fully contained, but the upper half— head, shoulders, torso, and arms-breaks through the glass and rises into real space with seamless dimensional blending. This transition is set above a circular metal manhole cover whose concentric pattern aligns precisely with the phone's position, reinforcing the strong center-weighted composition against the textured urban asphalt. Captured with an iPhone-style camera at about 26mm, f/1.6, 1/250s, ISO 150 under soft, overcast midday light, the scene is evenly illuminated with subtle reflections on the phone bezel and no harsh contrast.

The Subject wears a black leather jacket with  sleeve panels, black crewneck shirt, layered gold chains, cargo pants with zipper details, and adidas sneakers. Their pose keeps the legs inside the digital frame while the emerging upper body leans subtly upward, one hand in pocket, the other relaxed, with the head angled slightly right and gaze off-camera, giving a calm, contemplative expression. The overall composition relies on vertical symmetry, dual-plane depth, matched lighting between real and digital elements, and a mild neutral-cool color grade with teal shadows and warm skin tones. Post-processing includes clean masking, realistic overlap shadows at the phone edge, and crisp detail on hair and jacket textures, with negative prompts ensuring no added props, distortions, artefacts, or incorrect reflections.”
