Not sure I’ve ever seen Sam Altman as upset as in this long Twitter / X post:

Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that.

I get his frustration because OpenAI is trying to avoid what is shown in Anthropic’s ads. But again, the problem is perception. Anthropic is making an argument that ads will have a corrupting influence on ChatGPT. Whether that happens or not almost doesn’t matter.
