"But I believe in fair play. This wasn’t that." Anthropic’s Super Bowl ads weren't fair play either.

  Why not??

    Because the models aren't going to be recommending products in their conversations. The ads will be visually separate from the model's output.

        > As they first were in Google. So because you saw it once in one company, it will happen in every company? By that logic, wont Claude eventually get ads too, even though they are saying that they wont? Even now, Google ads wrap around the content, they don't mess with the search results. > Were you around then? Yes. I was around for AltaVista, WebCrawler, and Lycos too. None of those were LLMs.

          I think it is a good bet that Claude will eventually get ads too, if they don't drop the consumer segment. Ads are free money; most don't care.

            I think most would care if their AI buddy starts shilling products mid-conversation. People would lose trust, instantly. That's why the Super Bowl ads were unfair. It's not going to happen like that. That would be stupid. Say what you like about Sam Altman but he's not stupid.
