Eric Siu breaks down Anthropic's Super Bowl ad that promised no ads while offering a discount, and Sam Altman's angry response. Altman reportedly called out the hypocrisy and made a dig about ChatGPT's user count versus Claude's.
Anthropic made these ads, Super Bowl ads. Basically, they weren't calling out OpenAI, but they were saying, hey, we'll never have ads in our products. Well, in order to get started, sign up for this brand over here and we'll give you this discount. And the other guy's like, what? Anthropic will never have ads. Claude will never have ads. Yeah. And then Sam Altman responded. Yo, he was pissed. Yeah. So the funny thing about that response is someone who is a very popular VC tweeter, like he likes both Claude and OpenAI. He's like, dude, the Sam Altman response was, and I can say this, like he seemed like his butt hurt. He's like, you know, just to let you know that The ad was in good jest. I laughed at it. But just so you know, Texas has more ChatGPT users than all of Claude, right? There's like no reason to say that. And, and Dominic just wants their users. It wasn't calling out OpenAI. So I thought it was— he's a little butthurt about it. That was funny.
