"Anthropic recently announced via blog post that its AI chatbot Claude will remain free of ads. There will be no sponsored links in conversations with Claude, and the chatbot's responses will not be influenced by advertisers or contain product placements. At the same time, the company released a few promo videos that take jabs at the whole idea of ads in chatbots."
"A few weeks ago, OpenAI announced that it would begin testing display advertisements in ChatGPT responses. Shortly afterwards, Google promised no ads in Gemini (for now). Which way will other AI companies decide to go? We now have an answer for Anthropic, at least, who appears to be following in Google's footsteps."
Anthropic announced that its chatbot Claude will remain free of ads, with no sponsored links, advertiser influence, or product placements in conversations. The company released promo videos mocking ads in chatbots and stated that ads would undermine Claude’s purpose as a genuinely helpful assistant for work and deep thinking. OpenAI began testing display advertisements in ChatGPT responses, while Google pledged no ads in Gemini for now, creating a market divide between ad-supported and ad-free AI assistants. OpenAI reacted critically to Anthropic’s stance and described Claude as an "expensive product for the rich" despite free access.
