OpenAI is paying lifestyle creators in parenting, fitness, education, travel and careers, not tech creators, to show ChatGPT in everyday use. Examples include a back-to-school Study Mode campaign and a sponsored word search on The Shade Room (28M followers). Instagram posts tagged as ChatGPT partnerships went from 61 in June to 122 in July and 141 in August. The shift from technical demos to consumer-brand marketing matches the ad-product and 'good for the world' positioning seen elsewhere this month.
