On Wednesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Chief Marketing Officer Kate Rouch complained on X<\/a> after rival AI lab Anthropic released four commercials, two of which will run during the Super Bowl on Sunday, mocking<\/a> the idea of including ads in AI chatbot conversations. Anthropic’s campaign seemingly touched a nerve at OpenAI just weeks after the ChatGPT maker began testing ads<\/a> in a lower-cost tier of its chatbot.<\/p>\n

Altman called Anthropic’s ads “clearly dishonest,” accused the company of being “authoritarian,” and said it “serves an expensive product to rich people,” while Rouch wrote<\/a>, “Real betrayal isn’t ads. It’s control.”<\/p>\n
