OpenAI expanding ads to all free ChatGPT users is a data architecture choice as much as a business model choice. Ad revenue ties to behavioral signals — what you asked, when, how you rephrased it. That's the inference layer, not just the UI layer.

No classic vulnerability exploited. The AI system ran outside its configured scope with nothing monitoring the behavioral layer.

Endpoint security tools protect processes on machines. AI agents introduce a different question: who monitors what the agent decides?
