That Samsung AI ad where the guy goes to a museum and his phone tells him about all the art is such a good idea. I hate when you go to museums and they never tell you what any of the stuff is

There are multiple non-evil uses for transcription, translation, search, etc, but every commercial for some reason is "my daughter will use AI to write Santa a letter!"

honestly very funny to me that the primary actual use case for copilot is as a coding assistant, which strikes me as a very lucrative product with an enthusiastic user base, but microsoft is super thirsty for ..... this for whatever reason

A pessimistic-optimistic take I have is that perfect AI deepfakes won’t actually affect the discourse much. People are already willingly fooled by easily debunkable things, and the strategic framing & amplification of real stories/videos drives the vast majority of anger anyway

The coach hyping up the Cheez-Its in the Cheez-It commercial has accepted the vacant job in Coastal Carolina, agreeing to a 10-year, $88 million deal with a $20 mil NIL commitment. It is "unlikely" he will stay on to get them to chant "CHEESE CHEESE CHEESE" before the Liberty Mutual Music City Bowl
