Presumably the general population is more concerned about data privacy than ads (as part of a service). Seems like sowing distrust in any form is a bad move for everyone.
All these AI ads had the same problem as the crypto ones of years past, nobody is going to understand WTF any of this stuff is because it's all too inside baseball.
It’s all the same to more than most people.
And I don’t think anyone’s going to switch to Anthropic because of ads. They’ll switch because it’s a better product.
