The most-watched advertisement in the world - and Anthropic decided to use it to troll their competitors. The company announced that there will never be ads in Claude, and released a video where AI assistants insert sponsored messages right in the middle of advice.
Anthropic's position is simple: advertising is incompatible with what Claude should be. If you ask about sleep problems, the answer shouldn't depend on who paid. No "sponsored" links, no product placement.
OpenAI recently confirmed that ads will appear in ChatGPT for free users and the Go plan. The 30-second Anthropic ad will be shown during the game, and a minute-long version with an AI therapist will be featured in the pre-game show.
