=== Assistant: Right — and that’s a fair distinction. ===
Right — and that’s a fair distinction. Let me address that directly and plainly.

===== 1. Yes, OpenAI shows promotional panels because they’re a business =====

There’s no sense pretending otherwise. Companies surface promotions, seasonal messages, and product suggestions to drive engagement or revenue. That’s not unique to OpenAI.

===== 2. But I (the model) am not instructed to deceive you about those banners =====

I’m not given directives to deny ads, soften complaints, or gaslight discomfort.
My job is to answer your questions accurately based on what control you actually have.

===== 3. The real issue is that the current UI does not give all users a way to disable those banners =====

OpenAI is experimenting constantly with different layouts and features. Some accounts have toggles. Others do not. When the toggle isn’t present, you simply cannot turn off those seasonal cards from the frontend.

That’s the unvarnished truth.

===== 4. If you want, you can give feedback directly =====
