Is OpenAI about to acquire Pinterest?
Rumours are intensifying that OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, may be preparing for a bit to acquire the visual discovery platform Pinterest.
According to the reports cited by The Information, OpenAI is considering Pinterest as a strategic asset to secure a vast new source of human-generated data.
The aim of the acquisition is to assess shopping trends and visual search.
By owning Pinterest, the company is set to fill the gap in its real-time user behaviour and trends due to the lack of its own social network or search engine, unlike rivals Google and Meta.
Pinterest is considered a web traffic powerhouse. According to Statista, in March 2024, only 1.3 billion visits were measured to the Pinterest website. This made it one of the most visited websites.

In the third quarter of 2023, Pinterest had 482 million monthly active users worldwide.
By taking over Pinterest, OpenAI will get industry-leading product recommendation algorithms and an enriched dataset of labelled images.
This will help the AI giant to create new advertising revenue streams and provide high-quality data to train its AI models.
Earlier, the company added ads to ChatGPT, which is a part of its aggressive search for new revenue streams. Despite being an industry leader, the operating losses for 2025 are estimated at $8 billion and are expected to grow further in 2026.
On the user end, OpenAI’s takeover would likely mean deeper AI integration into the platform’s search and pinning features.
In broader terms, the acquisition signals a persistent consolidation of the internet under major AI players, shifting how digital discovery and commerce functions.
OpenAI has not commented publicly on it, but the report remains speculative

After ads, will ChatGPT responses remain trustworthy? OpenAI says yes
As OpenAI is gearing up to rollout ads for both free and $8 ChatGPT Go, the company has assured users that ads will not affect ChatGPT’s responses and will be labelled and separated from the content.
Early signs of this rollout have been spotted on Android devices, suggesting the inclusion of ads in ChatGPT is close.
As noted on X (formerly Twitter), OpenAI has designed a full-screen onboarding experience to familiarise users with ads in ChatGPT.
Although the AI giant has assured not to share personal information with advertisers, the current chat may still influence the type of sponsored ads displayed below the answers.
At the current stage, the commendable thing is that users have the option to hide ads, understand why specific ads were shown, and clear their ad data.
Ads will appear as a “Sponsored” block, and tapping the overflow menu draws the dropdown to hide the ad, report it, or even “Ask ChatGPT” about it.
OpenAI stated: “Our mission is to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity; our pursuit of advertising is always in support of that mission and making AI more accessible.”
Furthermore, the company has emphasised that conversations will remain private from advertisers and that user data will never be sold. A new “Ads controls” page has also been added to let users manage their ad history and interests without affecting their chat data.
These ads won’t be displayed to users of ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans.

David Beckham makes dig at Brooklyn amid family rift: ‘Watch and learn’
As the Beckham family drama deepens, David Beckham had refrained from making a direct comment about any of the tensions.
However, the doting father, who often roasts his children playfully, sent a pointed message to his estranged son, Brooklyn, as he collaborated with his close friend Gordon Ramsay.
The famous British chef, who himself is going through some drama with regards to his son-in-law Adam Peaty, shared an update.
David, who is a legendary former footballer, flaunted one of his many skills, cooking. In a video clip, Gordon and David are seen on a video call in which David makes a scallop risotto.
“Usually when David Beckham calls it’s about football but I was surprised when he was cooking up one of my homechef recipes, Gordon had written on Instagram.
Before marrying Nicola Peltz, Brooklyn had tried to launch himself as a cook as he shared videos of himself cooking simple recipes. However, most of the time he was roasted and trolled for his skills, which were often dubbed as mediocre.
While he pursued cooking for a while, he seemed to have abandoned that idea and modify it by selling his own hot sauce.
The update comes over a week after Brooklyn made a series of shocking Instagram Stories posts about his family. He had broken his silence on the ongoing rumours about a rift in the family and clearly stated that he “[does] not want to reconcile with [his] family.”
He noted, “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
