"For the scrawny 23-year-old who wants a six-pack, a ripped older man who is supposed to depict a chatbot suggests insoles that help short kings stand tall because confidence isn't just built in the gym. And for the man trying to improve communication with his mom: his therapist prescribes a mature dating site that connects sensitive cubs with roaring cougars in case he can't fix that relationship."
"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, Altman wrote. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. Altman stressed that OpenAI's decision to include ads, announced last month, makes the product more accessible. We believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, he wrote."
Anthropic launched Super Bowl–timed ads that lampoon a rival chatbot and conclude with the tagline: "Ads are coming to AI. But not to Claude." The ads use comedic scenarios about confidence and relationships to highlight a claim of ad-free Claude. Sam Altman reacted by calling the ads dishonest, criticizing their depiction and defending OpenAI's ad plans as a way to increase accessibility and preserve free access. OpenAI states ads will be separate, clearly labeled, will not influence answers, and conversation data will not be shared with advertisers. Anthropic is portrayed as selling a pricier product while OpenAI emphasizes reaching users who cannot pay subscriptions.
