OpenAI’s ChatGPT will soon have a digital wallet built into it, courtesy of Paypal.
CNBC exclusively reported the news on Tuesday, noting that people will be able to purchase goods, and companies will be able to sell on the AI platform.
“We’ve got hundreds of millions of loyal PayPal wallet holders who now will be able to click the ‘Buy with PayPal button’ on ChatGPT and have a safe and secure checkout experience,” PayPal CEO Alex Chriss told CNBC.

There has been lots of recent news for OpenAI and ChatGPT. The company last week debuted its own AI browser, ChatGPT Atlas. The idea is that ChatGPT’s memory of your interactions and the chatbot’s capabilities are included in the browser. There are also concerns, naturally, about the accuracy of results, considering AI tools have a tendency to to spit out confidently incorrect information.
It seems like not that long ago chatbots were just an interesting curiosity. But now they’re attempting to become the primary tool for navigating the web and building out the ability to drain your cash at the click of a button.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
