According to @godofprompt, a new trend in AI video generation platforms allows users to watch ads while their videos are being generated, with ad revenue directly subsidizing the token costs required for the service (source: x.com/marctuinier/status/1992746587903381687). This model creates an opportunity for AI startups and SaaS providers to lower entry barriers, expand their user base, and monetize through targeted advertising instead of direct fees. The approach leverages AI-driven ad targeting and real-time video synthesis, aligning with growing demand for accessible generative AI tools and new revenue models in the AI content creation market.

According to @godofprompt on Twitter, OpenAI is preparing to introduce targeted advertising within ChatGPT by leveraging its new 'memory' feature, which references all past user conversations for contextual ad targeting (source: @godofprompt, 2025-10-25). OpenAI has reportedly hired 630 former Meta employees, representing 20% of its staff, to develop these capabilities. The company projects up to $25 billion in ad revenue by 2029, aiming to offset its current $8.5 billion annual burn rate and achieve profitability (source: @godofprompt, 2025-10-25). This move signals a major shift in AI monetization strategies, with profound business implications for AI-powered advertising, user privacy, and data-driven personalization. The use of conversational AI data for ad targeting could create new market segments in hyper-personalized marketing, while also raising industry-wide concerns about trust, privacy, and ethical AI deployment.
