The round of Big Game ads Anthropic previewed earlier this week set Sam Altman off , as he called them “clearly dishonest.” Now, while the original ad says, “Ads are coming to AI.

Your conversations with AI should not be one of them.” Anthropic’s original Super Bowl ad’s closing message, which is not the same as the one that aired on Sunday.
