OpenAI’s Super Bowl Ad Wants to Make GPT Accessible to All 

OpenAI made its Super Bowl debt with a 60-second ad titled, The Intelligence Age, presenting ChatGPT as a transformative power working hand in hand to push humanity’s greatest innovations. 

The $14 million spot, developed under OpenAI’s new Chief Marketing Office (CMO) Kate Rouch, highlights ChatGPT’s practical applications, such drafting business plans and language tutoring.  

What it failed, or more rather refrained from presenting was any advertorial presence of complex AI innovations such as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) – most likely to appeal to a broad audience of over 130 million viewers. 

The OpenAI Super Bowl ads design in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, uses a pointillism-inspired animation style to depict humanity’s technological evolution, from early tools like fire to modern achievements like space exploration. 

OpenAI’s commercial innovation and design in the Age of Artificial Intelligence commercial focused on relatable AI uses, and in return, discreetly yet equally shifting the focus to OpenAI’s AI accessibility to millions unfamiliar with its AI model, ChatGPT.  

The AI giant’s CMO, Rouch, wanted to present ChatGPT as a practical, every day, innovative tool rather than a distant, abstract concept. 

The Age of Artificial Intelligence 

While OpenAI’s text-to-video AI, Sora, helped with the rapid prototyping of the ideas, final animation by purely human artists was used.  

According to Rouch, The Intelligence Age ad embraced human creativity, strictly not making AI the replacement but the extension. This really reflects OpenAI’s belief that AI encourages and increases, instead of overshadowing human innovation. 

This ad is important for OpenAI, as it aims for a $300 billion valuation and projected revenue of $11.6 billion this year, because it’s part of a broader strategy to reach new users and lock in its leadership in the AI space, with several competitors-most notably Google and Meta-gaining momentum. 

Rouch also referenced Google’s recent AI ad controversy, where its Olympics commercial was pulled due to backlash over AI-written content. OpenAI Intelligence Age Ad focuses on authenticity in its messaging, she said, was key in avoiding similar missteps. 

OpenAI’s “The Intelligence Age” ad gains as more and more people take notice of AI and its potential impact on society.  

The message that echoes in the company’s messaging-for instance, Rouch quotes from Altman’s recent blog post “We’re at the dawn of the intelligence age, and you can participate today.” OpenAI wants AI to be the “most powerful tool that we’ve ever created” and make it accessible to all.  

Sam Altman and the Intelligence Age commercial’s goal is to show that AI, in one way or another, touches everyone’s daily life, in business, education, and moreover.
