# Anthropic’s Ad Parody About ChatGPT Ads > Abdul shows an ad parody in which a request for a workout plan turns into a pitch for height-boosting insoles. He connects it to the prospect of ads in ChatGPT but says he does not know how those ads will appear. The staged exchange does not establish what actual ChatGPT ads will look like. - By Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) — AI, marketing and business, in Arabic - 5 October 2026 - URL: https://abdulosama.com/en/feed/anthropic-chatgpt-ads-workout-parody - Video: https://abdulosama.com/feed/video/77 - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUY332EjI4H/ ## Key takeaways - The ad turns a workout-plan conversation into an insole pitch. - Abdul says he does not know how ads in ChatGPT will appear. - The personal details, product claim and discount code belong to the ad’s dialogue, not to a verified offer. - The parody does not show the actual format of ChatGPT ads. ## What is the ad about? Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) shows a parody of advertising inside an AI-assistant conversation: someone asks for workout advice, and the answer veers into a product pitch. Abdul describes it as an ad from Anthropic, the company behind Claude, prompted by news that ads would come to ChatGPT. Claude is a conversational AI assistant; ChatGPT is an AI chat service. Abdul adds that he does not yet know how the ads will appear to users. > “We still don’t know how they’ll appear.” — Abdul Osama ## What happens in the scene? A person asks how to get a six-pack quickly. The assistant in the ad offers to tailor a workout plan and asks for their age, weight and height. It then begins to describe a strength-training plan before abruptly recommending Step Boost Max. In the scene, that name refers to insoles advertised as adding height; the clip does not establish whether the product or offer is real. ### In numbers - The person in the ad says they are **5'7"**, **23 years old** and **140 pounds**. These are details of the staged conversation. - The product pitch claims the insoles add **one vertical inch**. The clip does not verify that claim. - The dialogue gives the code **HEIGHTMAXING10**. Its validity is not established. > “Watch the ad; honestly, it hits the mark.” — Abdul Osama ## What should viewers take from it? The joke is the sudden shift from apparently personalized help to an unrelated promotion. If ads appear in AI-assistant replies, it matters whether users can distinguish the answer they requested from promotional material. This skit illustrates that concern; it is not evidence of the actual format of ChatGPT ads. ## Questions and answers ### What happens in the ad Abdul shows? A request for a personalized workout plan is interrupted by a pitch for insoles that the ad claims add height. ### Does the clip show how ChatGPT ads will work? No. Abdul says their appearance is still unclear to him, and the exchange he shows is a parody. ### Is the insole discount code a real offer? The code is spoken in the ad, but the clip does not verify the product or the offer. ## Sources and tools mentioned - [Claude](https://claude.ai) - [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com) ## Full transcript حرب إعلانية ابتديتها شركة أنثروبيك العاملة كلود لما عرفت إن شات جي بي تي هيهدخل الدعاية أو الآدز على المنصة عنده وهيبتدي الناس يطلع لهم نتائج أو إجابات الله أعلم لسه مش عارفين هتظهر إزاي. شوفوا الإعلان بصراحة إعلان خطير وفي الجول.Hey, can I get a six-pack quickly?
