The Super Bowl is more than just a football game, as evidenced by the growing trend of AI-powered advertisements dominating the commercial breaks. Last year's Google Gemini ad featuring a cheesy cheese stat, and this year's Anthropic ad that takes jabs at OpenAI, signaling an escalation in the tech giants' advertising wars.
For its part, Anthropic's new Super Bowl ad is "clearly dishonest," according to Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. The competitor's platform dunks on ChatGPT, the highly-anticipated AI chatbot that has been making waves in recent months. Meanwhile, Kalshi and Polymarket ads have been banned from this year's Super Bowl.
As consumers become increasingly aware of the impact of AI-generated content, companies are finding new ways to tap into that trend in order to promote their own platforms. In a market where crypto was briefly the hot topic just a few years ago, it seems AI has taken its place as the next big thing.
The NFL's decision to allow prediction markets but ban traditional sports betting ads is an interesting move, with some speculating that the league wants to separate the two categories. Nonetheless, the Super Bowl remains one of the most-watched events in the US, providing a prime platform for companies to showcase their AI-powered offerings and compete for consumers' attention.
The question on everyone's mind now is how many AI-generated ads will make an appearance during this year's Super Bowl LX, which kicks off at 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT on February 8th.
