Sam Altman says Anthropic's Super Bowl spot is 'dishonest' about ChatGPT ads, but he agrees it's funny
"'Ads are coming to AI. But not to Claude,' the ad, which doesn't mention OpenAI or ChatGPT by name, says. The ads feature a human playing a fictional version of a chatbot who jarringly interjects mid-conversation to push a product. In one ad, when the user asks for help achieving a six-pack quickly, the stand-in chatbot answers and then also suggests buying a specific pair of insoles to appear taller, along with a discount code."
"'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,' Altman said of the ads, calling them 'deceptive.' Altman said OpenAI believes everyone deserves access to AI and is focused on bringing AI to billions of people who can't afford to pay for subscriptions."
Sam Altman reacted to Anthropic's Super Bowl ad campaign by saying he found the spots funny but deceptive. Anthropic released four ads mocking the arrival of advertising on ChatGPT and promoted Claude with the line, "Ads are coming to AI. But not to Claude." The ads depict a human playing a chatbot that interrupts conversations to push products, including recommending insoles with a discount code. Altman said OpenAI's ad principles prevent such intrusive ad placements and emphasized a focus on broad access to AI through free and paid ChatGPT plans for individuals, teams, and enterprises.
