Anyone know what they are spending this on? Can't remember seeing one OpenAI ad.. Is it just pr and influencers? Ads in the US?

- shaewest 3mo agoI've easily gotten (low) hundreds of OpenAI youtube ads. More recently they've been pushing 'Free OpenAI Image generation' to me, in the past they pushed Codex more, but I have a sub for that now, so I guess it works.

Almost certainly they are using a somewhat broad definition of sales and marketing to cram a bunch of expenses into it to make some other category look better.
