AI DRAMA
🏈 The AI Super Bowl Ad War

Anthropic’s running a series of Super Bowl ads directly mocking OpenAI’s initiative to bring personalized ads to ChatGPT, declaring: “Ads are coming to AI. But not to Claude.”
Key Details:
OpenAI’s also reportedly exploring ways to deliver personalized ads by leveraging ChatGPT’s memory feature, which was originally designed to remember details from your past conversations to make present chats more useful.
OpenAI’s new CEO of Applications, Fidji Simo, spent over a decade at Facebook, eventually becoming Head of the Facebook App. Many believe she’s responsible for the “Meta-fication” of ChatGPT.
Why It’s Important:
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously remarked that integrating personalized ads into ChatGPT feels “uniquely unsettling to me” and views it as “a last resort.” After Anthropic’s first Super Bowl ad, he added: “I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest.”
OpenAI’s losing money on Pro Plans and is projected to accumulate more than $115 billion in losses by 2029. Although more than 800 million people rely on ChatGPT every week, fewer than 5% upgrade to a paid tier. To put this into perspective, OpenAI likely needs over $207 billion in new financing by 2030.
AI RESEARCH
🍌 Google’s Automating Academic Illustration

The Google Cloud AI Research Team recently developed “PaperBanana,” which converts scientific literature into publication-ready academic illustrations.
Key Details:
It orchestrates a collaborative team of five specialized AI Agents: Retriever, Planner, Stylist, Visualizer, and Critic. For example, Visualizer transforms textual descriptions into visual illustrations by leveraging Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro to create icons, labels, and arrows.
They also introduced “PaperBananaBench,” which consists of 292 test cases and 292 reference cases curated from NeurIPS 2025 publications to rigorously evaluate how effectively it generates technically accurate scientific diagrams.
“PaperBanana” demonstrated superior performance and statistically significant improvements when compared to existing baseline methods across all four evaluation metrics: +37.2% in conciseness, +12.9% in readability, +6.6% in aesthetics, and +2.8% in faithfulness.
Why It’s Important:
Most frontier AI models already excel at finding, analyzing, and synthesizing academic literature to meaningfully contribute to the progress of scientific discovery. Yet, scientific discoveries only achieve their full value through effective communication. In other words, visually communicating scientific breakthroughs is essential to bridging the gap between raw data and human consensus.
Text is bound by strict grammatical rules tailored to each language. In contrast, visuals are the “language of logic,” providing a universal syntax referred to as “visual verbs.” For instance, an arrow indicates a direction, no matter what language you speak.
