  • At Goldman Sachs' conference in San Francisco, CFO Sarah Friar described ChatGPT as combining Google's search intent with Meta's user context.

  • After seven months of ads, OpenAI's business was running at a rate Friar said would equal $1 billion annually.

  • Basic ads currently appear beneath responses for free and Go subscribers; Friar expects more complex, tailored formats in future.

  • OpenAI's advertising focus contrasts with Sam Altman's 2024 statement that combining advertising and AI was uniquely unsettling.
  • It's high intent search, you're telling a lot, but with the context — it's not quite people like me, it's me, because it has all the memory of me.
    — Sarah Friar, OpenAI's Chief Financial Officer, speaking at Goldman Sachs' Communacopia + Technology Conference in San Francisco
