"But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won't do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it's on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren't real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it."
"More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people."
"Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI-they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI."
Anthropic's Super Bowl ads are described as funny yet clearly dishonest and deceptive doublespeak. OpenAI emphasizes commitment to free access because access creates agency and notes more free ChatGPT users than Claude users in the US. OpenAI clarifies that paid ChatGPT plans remove ads. Anthropic targets wealthy customers with an expensive product, while OpenAI aims to bring AI to billions who cannot pay. Anthropic reportedly blocks companies from using its coding product and seeks to set rules and influence other companies' business models. OpenAI commits to broad democratic decision-making, building a resilient advanced AI ecosystem, and preparing the world for safe, broadly beneficial AGI; the Super Bowl ad focuses on builders and Codex adoption.
