Anthropic, OpenAI rivalry spills into Super Bowl ads

OpenAI and Anthropic must prove their AI chatbots can become profitable businesses despite current losses in a critical 2024 commercial competition.

  • This year, OpenAI and Anthropic are promoting ChatGPT and Claude with ads during Super Bowl 60 on NBC, targeting over 120 million viewers; OpenAI’s ad remains under wraps while Anthropic runs game and pre-game spots.
  • Facing pressure this year, both startups need to prove profitability, prompting big bets as space sold for an average of $8 million per 30-second unit, with $10 million-plus spots and NBC sold out in September.
  • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he 'laughed' at the 'funny' ads but called them dishonest while Anthropic is airing commercials highlighting Claude’s ad-free experience.
  • This year's ad trends include AI and tech companies showcasing new technology alongside health and telehealth companies targeting over 127.7 million U.S. viewers.
  • While many advertisers release spots early, some hold back until game day to reveal their ad, with health advertisers prominent and marketing professor Charles Taylor expecting light, humane tones this year.
