Sam Altman responds to Anthropic’s ‘funny’ Super Bowl ads

Sam Altman responded to Anthropic's Super Bowl advertisement on X, calling it "clearly dishonest" and "on brand" for "doublespeak," though he admitted the ads were funny. Anthropic's campaign contrasted its approach with OpenAI's plan to test ads, stating Claude users would not see sponsored links or advertiser-influenced responses. Altman countered that OpenAI would never run ads as depicted by Anthropic, asserting that their ads are separate from helpful answers and only appear for certain free users. He further argued that OpenAI is committed to broad, free access to AI, contrasting this with Anthropic's expensive product aimed at "rich people." Altman accused Anthropic of wanting to control what people do with AI and dictate business models, emphasizing OpenAI's commitment to democratic decision-making and building a resilient ecosystem for safe, broadly beneficial AGI.
