Anthropic is spending millions of dollars to air commercials during Sunday night’s National Football League championship game to slam rival OpenAI for its plan to sell ads on its ChatGPT chatbot, in one of the biggest public spats between the big artificial-intelligence companies.

The commercial features a scrawny twenty-something doing pull-ups in the park, and ?asking a ?muscular bystander for advice about achieving six-pack abs. The man replies in a robotic way that suggests he ?is a chatbot, offering to provide a personalized strength-training plan. But first, he slips in a promotion for shoe inserts that help “short kings stand tall” — prompting a puzzled response from the twenty-something.
