Oh, so THAT's how come it's still around. I saw their shops all close a couple of years ago during or just before the pandemic, and was really confused about how some locations still had them.
I've been reading Carmilla (set in late 19th century), and in one of the scenes a travelling peddler carries a fiddle and sings an advertisement boasting of his skills and credibility and listing the services he provides. From well-constructed fiddle songs that showed personality (because how can art not be self-expression, quite literally in this case) to generative AI. You're right, there is absolutely no effort, and it is insulting. Ads are annoying, but I will stop to watch a creative ad.🎉
that's the most baffling thing to me. often the ai is so distracting or basic that it's lost on me what i'm even being sold. it defeats the whole purpose of being advertised at
Hah, we used to switch channels during each commercial break. And the breaks were pretty short actually. Later local channels added a timer in the corner so you'd know how long the break is gonna be, but they also got longer. Then they got even longer and the timer is gone. Suffice to say, we don't watch television anymore. The antenna isn't even plugged in.
TV can go to hell. I am sure that within the next two generations dying off it will have disappeared. It might be replaced by watching other mediums on the same devices like streaming services but convetional TV with one linear program and a Tsunami of ad breaks that kills all enjoyment.. that will be gone.
Gabbi asked why these companies are using AI for shots that are super easy to get otherwise. Upper management is obssessed with AI right now, and will push it at every opportunity. My team and I presented a video we made for a potential client to our leadership, and the feedback they had for us was to basically avoid using stock footage, even if it perfectly fits what we need, and to implement more AI into our workflow to speed up the process. Thats it. Do it faster, dont license stock footage when we can just use AI to generate some haldf assed looking stuff because then it gives off the feeling we are on the cutting edge of tech... or something. Its fucking frustrating.
what's wild to me is that it doesn't even seem THAT much faster. you'd still have to sort through AI garbage and make sure it's consistent, so might as well just use stock photos. it's SUPER annoying how every single company is obsessed with AI, sometimes it's a really old feature rebranded as "AI" and they don't even notice. it's so dumb lol, it's all just buzzwords and not actual comprehension on their part
@@oddlem Perfectly said. Its also odd because some of the shots we included were the typical "low angle shot looking up at two white collar looking guys wearing hard hats holding tablets pointing to something off screen", and we animate some green energy data on screen, and have some AI voice over (company refuses to pay a voice actor, of course) talking about how... "amazing the company is" or whatever... and leadership points to the footage and says "can we use AI to rework this shot?" Mother fucker... You want us to take a shot where we already have branded hard hats on two actors we have already paid, and replace it with an AI shot... what are we going to replace this with? The shot is done, it has everything marketing told us to add... we are now just wasting so much time replacing shots with AI garbage. Holy fuck I am frustrated. lol. Sorry for the rant.

i saw an ad for a mobile game called zen word yesterday ai person talking about how she was diagnosed with alzheimers the year before and was cured by zen word its absolutely ghoulish, even by advertising standards
I've seen many from Zen Word, and another app about mahjong using the same script. It starts with a picture of a woman, then an AI voice introducing herself as older than she appears (generally claiming 50). It then goes on to say the app will "cure Alzheimer's", and "even make you look younger". The gameplay previews (which probably aren't even real previews) are full of spelling errors too. Kind of insane, but I've blocked it out by now.
I work at a home decor store and was jumpscared by an ai "painting" of flowers in a vase. It jumped out at me immediately and when i looked closer there were freaky petal placements. Just made me respect my workplace even less
AI ads immediately make me distrust the company. There's this RV place in my town that very clearly has been using that AI Disney-esque style in their billboards, and it makes me think. If they're willing to cut corners on something as simple as paying an artist, or hell even just buying stock images, then I dont even want to know how theyre cutting corners on their RV's or the maintenance and upkeep they do on them
It's a great advertisement when you have to use a fake child to play with the toys you are trying to advertise. I know they did it because it's cheaper, but I like to believe their toys are so terrible, they couldn't find a real child to smile and play with the toys.
Doesn't really make any sense given Toys R Us are just a retailer. They seem to have been hit pretty hard by the "death of the high street" so this is almost certainly just a financial decision - not that it's an excuse.
Hey look at all those human actors, directors, editors, and crew they didn't have to pay! The savings!....That's gross and I'm going to make a list of all the companies using ai ads so I can skip buying from them.
i hate the paranoia AI has induced in all of us. the fact that we have to apply such a high level of scrutiny to anything and everything to try and detect if it's AI or not is fucking horrific. i would just like to consume human made art but every time something seems even slightly off i have to get a goddamn magnifying glass out and analyse every frame to spot if something seems off. you're forced to suspect everything of being AI and i hate it
@@warmoaran3 as someone who's done photography for 10+ years and been to uni multiple times (I dropped out both times cos of mental health it just sounds more impressive) for photography, yes you absolutely can beat the ai. AI is good at the most generic, boring bing wallpaper photography and even then it's terrible. If you have even the slightest creative styling in your shot composition and editing (which every human photographer does have subconsciously), you will be miles ahead of ai
That Trivago thing made 19 people not have a gig. The corporate dream. The reaching for unlimited profits and infinite growth truly has no limits. The ambition their rotted corpo husks have makes Icarus look like a chump.
I recently saw an AI generated ad for an AI program that animates still photos. One of the women grew a 3rd arm in the middle of the AI generated hug. You'd think at least an AI company wouldn't screw up the AI generation for their own commercial 😅
Maybe it's like how email phishers use bad spelling and grammar. They only want stupid people to fall for their pitch. Similarly, those AI companies don't want people with discerning tastes and high standards to use their product, because they'd never be satisfied.
as someone who knows very little about video editing, it's scary to notice video editing tricks used to make the AI look more real like skin smoothing and glow around the head and eyes edit for clarity: I'm not trying to say that video editing tricks were intentionally used, but that the AI incorporates those factors in such a way that makes it harder to notice that it's AI and not just digitally altered
One of the complaints about AI images is that they generally look *too* smooth and "glowy". Those likely aren't video editing tricks. Getting natural looking images that don't look overly polished and professional is the difficult part, because it's been fed a bunch of professional / stock photos and videos.
lighting, composition, and colour theory are the backbone of real artists’ careers, yet ai can’t possibly understand the significance or importance of them. if it uses these concepts then its by accident and not in a consistent manner.
I wasn't trying to imply that the AI uses actual editing tricks (I see the wording issue though) just that it uses elements that we're used to dismissing as digital to hide things it struggles with, like edges and color inconsistency. the human eye is more likely to accept AI art because we're so used to digitally altered art being the norm. it's like people not realizing when artists on TikTok use serious pitch correction because we're all used to some amount of pitch correction in music
If you're curious, James Welsh did a video in which he discussed the company that makes the ads where the people are dubbed over with AI. The more unsettling thing is there have been cases of these ads using influencers without permission or their knowledge.
I used to be excited about the development of AI, expecting something like KITT, or WALL-E. Instead, we get REALLY bad summaries of stuff with lies in them, people getting butt hurt that they're still not on the level of people who have learned how to make art for years, and crap ads that just creep you out. But at least I know now that Toys R Us is alive. I wish it wasn't, though.
Toys R US isn't doing so hot here in Canada. Also, same on the use to be excited about the development of AI, but over time it was just used to replace people like me and make dealing with customer service even more of a hassle
23:25 I'm signed up for user testing/surveys/etc and one I get asked to do all the time is "upload 100 selfies" with no other explanation lol like I'm pretty sure it's to make AI people for advertising and the pay is FORTY DOLLARS
@@lemin0u i didn't go through with it obviously but you usually sign your rights to the images away and allow the company to do whatever they want with them for something like this
Hello from Berlin.... There's no such thing as "the Berlin Market" Berlin is about the size of NYC... we have around 700 markets none of them look like that as far as i know
There is a town called Berlin in New Jersey, USA that has a "Berlin Farmers Market." The letters on top of its building look similar to what's in this ad, just a different color and above the roof instead of on the facade. I wonder if it was based off that instead? Extra funny if they literally used the wrong Berlin as inspiration.
Berlin's the biggest city in the EU, but it's tiny compared to NYC. Less than 4 million inhabitants compared to over 20 million. London's also much bigger than Berlin, with 8-14 million inhabitants, depending on how many suburbs you include, but it's no longer in the EU, obviously.
The AI translated ads where they save money on not hiring native speakers is so slimy to me. A foreign company comes to the country, then refuses to pay for even just a single actor from that country. In some languages acting jobs are exceedingly difficult to come by.
Also not using a native actor means that now every ad is done by a white guy, possibly damaging the progress of inclusivity in the film and video industry that has been made. Why hire a person of color now when we can use ai? A perfect excuse for a bigoted ceo that was previously forced to at least have a diversity hire at the bare minimum.
To be honest, in the case of anime, it’s different as the majority of translators are competitive on who can do the funniest translation, this also means inaccurate ones as well
ai has a real racism problem; its kinda like a young child in that it absorbs information (a lot of implicit or explicit racism in our societies) but has not developed any sort of media literacy or filter for moral acceptability, and so tends to say the quiet part out loud.
Mexico did the same, but it wasn't racist - just had a lot of colorful stuff, like if you had typed "drawing of a group of people cheering and celebrating unity and freedom" thank god they went through the cute drawing way and not the horrific real life human route
I think in the case of the last one, where they show the ads that pretend to be tiktoks, I think those are faces of real people stolen from tiktok. I remember seeing a girl on tiktok talk about how her face was used to AI-generate an ad for boner pills. Gross
is it possible, especially with some of the bigger brands, that the AI is so bad almost on purpose? an outrage marketing tactic, they are spending way less money, yet getting double the reach because everyone is taking pictures of it, sharing it, and commenting on it. It just feels so unbelievable to put out something so bad on purpose.
It's definetely possible but some people are also very delulu about ai, especially if they have whatever the equivalent of rose color glasses but for money is.
I would agree with you if we didn't from time and time again seeing that this is just higher ups making bad investments and trying to prove they didn't waste company money on an obvious scam
gabi's toys r us feelings are so real tbh. i mostly associate it with staring longingly at barbies trying to get my mom to acknowledge it bc i knew if i asked outright to get something i would be told no
French canadian here, hard to tell with just half a sentence, but he looks so expressionless it's not very selling tbh. We're also very used to badly dubbed ads LOL like badly dubbed as in the voice doesn't fit the person, or there are weird pauses and intonations, just because they need to fit the text to how long the original speaks, so i guess this was better in that department, at least in the little snippet
I remember immediately knowing that Etoro advert was AI has soon as I saw Jurgen (I think that's his name) the redhead guy. No human looks like that... and the transition from the previous guy gave the game away. But yes, nothing says 'trustworthy team of investors that definitely exist' more than some faked images.
I wish companies would realize that if you put more effort into your ads, you’re more likely to get people to buy. Why would I want to purchase anything from someone with AI slop for advertising?
23:07 for these tiktok ads they're really creepy and deceptive because they essentially just take a random popular creators vid and put it into AI to make it seem like they're promoting this product when the creator has no idea about it at all. It's so gross and it's also happened with real licensed doctors.
@warmoaran3 pretty sure it is cause yoyr taking someone who people trust and putting their face over an advertisement of a product they don't even know about😭
I see an AI ad and I automatically assume whatever company made it doesn't offer anything good enough to actually make money, since they obviously can't (or won't bother to) pay for one.
or that theyre incredibly cheap and arent worth anything. because if they didnt bother paying real people to make the ad, what chance is there that they have quality standards??
as someone who’s used to god awfully dubbed Vanish ads, i wonder why they put in all this effort when just badly dubbing seems to have been working fine for all these years. also i forsee them using AI to make somehow even worse dubbed ads
I find the most depre ssing thing is you'd think AI would be used to do something just impossible with human actors or CGI, yet it's just replacing adverts that a just a person with a prop and a graphic behind them. The lack of creativity is so fitting.
I'll never understand why companies think that literal slop that came out of the rear end of a robot is better than real graphic design done by humans.
Well,It may be soulless and ugly,but It's cheap! Who cares about art and talent when you can make a bunch of Washingtons?! Aaaaaah,corporative greed,my "favourite"!

The reason snoop is featured on so many songs and albums, is that it's "relatively easy" to hire him for a feature. It's like 50-60k to hire him for a couple of hours he come in does his bars and then is out. And then he'll often vary the price on depending on how much he likes you. Its a little extra dystopian when the AI claims to be "the original"
I would be so terrified of having my likeness and voice free for anyone to use as they wish. Like bruh, I bet there's barely any safeguards against making them say some heinous shit, and I bet there's no pulling out after you've signed away the rights to that stuff for the company that can then change owners or anything.
Recording a guy standing there and then editing on moving lips is literally what they did for the movie Baby Geniuses in 1999. The difference is that in Baby Geniuses it was CGI, whereas for this it's AI, which I guess it more efficient but even with the 25 years of tech progress it looks just as uncanny now as it did then.
That London Underground ad has really got me overthinking it. 'It's good to be the king' is a catchphrase in the Mel Brooks movie 'History of the World, Part 1', that is repeatedly spouted by Brooks himself in character as Louis VI every time he does something outrageous. It's advertising cheap travel from London to the city of Tours, which was formerly a royal capital of the Valois dynasty. I don't think the poster's supposed to represent the late Queen Elizabeth II. It's trying to say that any random woman off the street can feel like she's ancient royalty by visiting this wonderful historic city. Basically, the human generated idea behind the ad is sound, if a little too reliant on being familiar with the history of France and an old comedy movie that hasn't aged too well. If they'd just got an artist to make a picture of an everywoman feeling like royalty in Tours, it would have been an OK (if forgettable) ad that would have got a few people googling those cheap flights. But they decided to pinch pennies and got AI to do it. The AI made the woman look a bit like Queen Elizabeth because she's what comes up most when it searches for reference images labelled 'the Queen'. Then it made a really disgusting gloopy image of her with mutant fingers, wearing a stupid Game of Thrones villain crown, riding a confusing bicycle in front of a generic, Disney style French chateau. The AI has single-handedly turned an OK idea for an ad into, surreal, incomprehensible gibberish. Because it's not actually intelligent, it just recycles visual elements based on the tags applied to them by its programmers. Also 15:30 is just David Pakman playing a teenage tearaway in a 1980's High School movie.
The line between ADS and SCAMS is ever closer thanks to AI... "Deepfakes are unethical! But they are so cheap!" says the out-of-touch head of marketing and laughs with his boss in his office in the delulu tower.
Every once in awhile I forget Toys R US doesn't exist in the US anymore (live across the street from a Toys R US that makes me question if they'll go under eventually here in Canada)
You can listen to this video in the background while ordering food to an AI menu board cashier at your local fast food restaurant in your car that drives itself. This is not a speculative future it's just Taco Bell. Obv. the car drives through pedestrians and the menu board doesn't know what sells
Every time I see a commercial made with AI, I immediately start thinking it's a worthless creator, in the vein of Milano: "Oh, you don't even have the money to hire actors and crew, but you want me to use you as a place to store my money?
10:42 you think its not bad? Try watching that Trivago guy in Dutch. We see this commercial all the time in the Netherlands but his lips look weird. It is CLEARLY Ai. Even if you don't know what Ai is, his lips look weird
12:08 I’ve never been to the Netherlands, but I’m almost certain that speaking Dutch doesn’t require “Elvis lip”. Dude’s upper lip raised up on one side and stayed there through the duration of the ad. 😂

I’ve consulted other people and the entire wikipedia for donkeys and still have absolutely no idea.
I think the donkey one is also supposed to be a bait and switch, but does a much worse job. The shoe one is just nonsense I think. Might have originally been a pun on "walk-in closet" that the AI botched really badly

The least repetitive AI generated joke I've seen so far, from 🌸, was: What do you call a thief who steals both your heart and your wallet? A cardiovascular bandit.
Honestly, I respect AI works more when they're melting into nightmarish dream worlds. But more than 'less than zero' is still a horrifyingly low amount.
Hey Sony if you’re watching,you guys should release a sequel for Morbius that’s fully made by AI. I promise that it’ll make you a billion dollars just like the first movie.

The makers of Animal Crossing should be commended for choosing not to censor Michelangelo’s masterpiece. It was probably a tough decision, considering the popular game has a large number of young players. If they veiled it, in a reasonable manner, I’d be unhappy, but not over-upset. The ad, however, is infuriating to me. How dare they, in a commercial made for adults, crudely deface a renowned work of art? What a tasteless move, done in attempt to make their lousy AI-generated commercial look more appealing.
Toys R Us still owns the rights to the greatest ad song of all time, this is like they've given up entirely and are actively driving the business under.
It's shocking how much AI is taking over on so many things. Ads, photos, videos, books even.

Kind of insane, but I've blocked it out by now.

In my schools activity room, they just have Ai generated images of video game stuff on canvases.
AI ads immediately make me distrust the company. There's this RV place in my town that very clearly has been using that AI Disney-esque style in their billboards, and it makes me think. If they're willing to cut corners on something as simple as paying an artist, or hell even just buying stock images, then I dont even want to know how theyre cutting corners on their RV's or the maintenance and upkeep they do on them
Exactly this; I agree with this sentiment.
this is a very good point!
Where is this RV place?
It's a great advertisement when you have to use a fake child to play with the toys you are trying to advertise. I know they did it because it's cheaper, but I like to believe their toys are so terrible, they couldn't find a real child to smile and play with the toys.

Damm
help ik this is supposed to be like a sick burn, but toys r us is just a retailer for toys created by mattel and hasbro and disney and all that 😭😭
Doesn't really make any sense given Toys R Us are just a retailer. They seem to have been hit pretty hard by the "death of the high street" so this is almost certainly just a financial decision - not that it's an excuse.
this is so funny thank you
Hey look at all those human actors, directors, editors, and crew they didn't have to pay! The savings!....That's gross and I'm going to make a list of all the companies using ai ads so I can skip buying from them.
Good luck with that /s
Share the list with the rest of us on the internet. I would love to see a massive blacklist of companies doing this crap.
i hate the paranoia AI has induced in all of us. the fact that we have to apply such a high level of scrutiny to anything and everything to try and detect if it's AI or not is fucking horrific. i would just like to consume human made art but every time something seems even slightly off i have to get a goddamn magnifying glass out and analyse every frame to spot if something seems off. you're forced to suspect everything of being AI and i hate it
This, exactly yeah, and as if existing in modern day isn't anxiety inducing enough as it is...

and if you make art or are an beginner photographer (like me) you just question yourself, can you really beat the ai?
@@warmoaran3 as someone who's done photography for 10+ years and been to uni multiple times (I dropped out both times cos of mental health it just sounds more impressive) for photography, yes you absolutely can beat the ai. AI is good at the most generic, boring bing wallpaper photography and even then it's terrible. If you have even the slightest creative styling in your shot composition and editing (which every human photographer does have subconsciously), you will be miles ahead of ai
A - Anxiety
I - inducing
That Trivago thing made 19 people not have a gig. The corporate dream. The reaching for unlimited profits and infinite growth truly has no limits. The ambition their rotted corpo husks have makes Icarus look like a chump.
I recently saw an AI generated ad for an AI program that animates still photos. One of the women grew a 3rd arm in the middle of the AI generated hug. You'd think at least an AI company wouldn't screw up the AI generation for their own commercial 😅
Maybe it's like how email phishers use bad spelling and grammar. They only want stupid people to fall for their pitch. Similarly, those AI companies don't want people with discerning tastes and high standards to use their product, because they'd never be satisfied.
as someone who knows very little about video editing, it's scary to notice video editing tricks used to make the AI look more real like skin smoothing and glow around the head and eyes
edit for clarity: I'm not trying to say that video editing tricks were intentionally used, but that the AI incorporates those factors in such a way that makes it harder to notice that it's AI and not just digitally altered
One of the complaints about AI images is that they generally look *too* smooth and "glowy". Those likely aren't video editing tricks.
Getting natural looking images that don't look overly polished and professional is the difficult part, because it's been fed a bunch of professional / stock photos and videos.
lighting, composition, and colour theory are the backbone of real artists’ careers, yet ai can’t possibly understand the significance or importance of them. if it uses these concepts then its by accident and not in a consistent manner.
I wasn't trying to imply that the AI uses actual editing tricks (I see the wording issue though) just that it uses elements that we're used to dismissing as digital to hide things it struggles with, like edges and color inconsistency. the human eye is more likely to accept AI art because we're so used to digitally altered art being the norm. it's like people not realizing when artists on TikTok use serious pitch correction because we're all used to some amount of pitch correction in music
that's just the ai, that's not video editing
this feels genuinely so dystopian. and as an artist its been so demotivating.

If you're curious, James Welsh did a video in which he discussed the company that makes the ads where the people are dubbed over with AI.
The more unsettling thing is there have been cases of these ads using influencers without permission or their knowledge.

I used to be excited about the development of AI, expecting something like KITT, or WALL-E. Instead, we get REALLY bad summaries of stuff with lies in them, people getting butt hurt that they're still not on the level of people who have learned how to make art for years, and crap ads that just creep you out. But at least I know now that Toys R Us is alive. I wish it wasn't, though.
That's not alive, that's undead
Toys R US isn't doing so hot here in Canada. Also, same on the use to be excited about the development of AI, but over time it was just used to replace people like me and make dealing with customer service even more of a hassle

Hello from Berlin.... There's no such thing as "the Berlin Market" Berlin is about the size of NYC... we have around 700 markets none of them look like that as far as i know
I also don't think we'd call it market instead of Marktplatz.
@@l0rf I'd assume that a city in Germany would write in German
There is a town called Berlin in New Jersey, USA that has a "Berlin Farmers Market." The letters on top of its building look similar to what's in this ad, just a different color and above the roof instead of on the facade. I wonder if it was based off that instead? Extra funny if they literally used the wrong Berlin as inspiration.
@kitkatkk2543 we do a lot of anglicised names, if I'm being honest.
Berlin's the biggest city in the EU, but it's tiny compared to NYC. Less than 4 million inhabitants compared to over 20 million. London's also much bigger than Berlin, with 8-14 million inhabitants, depending on how many suburbs you include, but it's no longer in the EU, obviously.
The AI translated ads where they save money on not hiring native speakers is so slimy to me. A foreign company comes to the country, then refuses to pay for even just a single actor from that country. In some languages acting jobs are exceedingly difficult to come by.
That's what I thinking. Now foreign companies will not pay native speakers despite trying to advertise to the same people. despicable.
The entire voice acting "industry" is about to get way more competitive.
For real, ugh!
Also not using a native actor means that now every ad is done by a white guy, possibly damaging the progress of inclusivity in the film and video industry that has been made. Why hire a person of color now when we can use ai? A perfect excuse for a bigoted ceo that was previously forced to at least have a diversity hire at the bare minimum.
To be honest, in the case of anime, it’s different as the majority of translators are competitive on who can do the funniest translation, this also means inaccurate ones as well
i seriously don't think the founder of Toys R Us would want this, at all.
And I don't think my dad, the inventor of toaster strudel, will take too kindly on this
And I don't think Pinely, or Gabi, would approve of these ads either, though I can't be sure...

Unus anus pfp? In this economy?
yeah the danish version with the AI mouth man looked strange as hell. like he very clearly doesn't open his mouth enough to let out sound
One political party from my country used ai for posters, they were little bit racist
ai has a real racism problem; its kinda like a young child in that it absorbs information (a lot of implicit or explicit racism in our societies) but has not developed any sort of media literacy or filter for moral acceptability, and so tends to say the quiet part out loud.
I think I know that country
Or maybe I'm wrong...
Mexico did the same, but it wasn't racist - just had a lot of colorful stuff, like if you had typed "drawing of a group of people cheering and celebrating unity and freedom"
thank god they went through the cute drawing way and not the horrific real life human route
lmao AI has already been trying to be used as political propaganda and it's so disgusting a celebrity had to tell everyone she didn't endorse it
the czech republic mentioned! (unfortunately) those ads were so bad 😭
I think in the case of the last one, where they show the ads that pretend to be tiktoks, I think those are faces of real people stolen from tiktok. I remember seeing a girl on tiktok talk about how her face was used to AI-generate an ad for boner pills. Gross
Holy fuck that's awful
is it possible, especially with some of the bigger brands, that the AI is so bad almost on purpose? an outrage marketing tactic, they are spending way less money, yet getting double the reach because everyone is taking pictures of it, sharing it, and commenting on it. It just feels so unbelievable to put out something so bad on purpose.
true, I didn’t think about that
It's definetely possible but some people are also very delulu about ai, especially if they have whatever the equivalent of rose color glasses but for money is.
That's honestly still a bad strategy while it can make exposure, it could lead to Boycotts
I would agree with you if we didn't from time and time again seeing that this is just higher ups making bad investments and trying to prove they didn't waste company money on an obvious scam

French canadian here, hard to tell with just half a sentence, but he looks so expressionless it's not very selling tbh. We're also very used to badly dubbed ads LOL like badly dubbed as in the voice doesn't fit the person, or there are weird pauses and intonations, just because they need to fit the text to how long the original speaks, so i guess this was better in that department, at least in the little snippet
1:26 It's even funnier when you buy it from Redd he says his usual line "Admiring the detail? It's very... detailed." 👀
I remember immediately knowing that Etoro advert was AI has soon as I saw Jurgen (I think that's his name) the redhead guy. No human looks like that... and the transition from the previous guy gave the game away.
But yes, nothing says 'trustworthy team of investors that definitely exist' more than some faked images.
I even saw a restaurant online using ai to show their food , like that has to be illegal? 😭
I wish companies would realize that if you put more effort into your ads, you’re more likely to get people to buy. Why would I want to purchase anything from someone with AI slop for advertising?
23:07 for these tiktok ads they're really creepy and deceptive because they essentially just take a random popular creators vid and put it into AI to make it seem like they're promoting this product when the creator has no idea about it at all. It's so gross and it's also happened with real licensed doctors.
feels illegal too.
@warmoaran3 pretty sure it is cause yoyr taking someone who people trust and putting their face over an advertisement of a product they don't even know about😭
I see an AI ad and I automatically assume whatever company made it doesn't offer anything good enough to actually make money, since they obviously can't (or won't bother to) pay for one.
or that theyre incredibly cheap and arent worth anything. because if they didnt bother paying real people to make the ad, what chance is there that they have quality standards??
as someone who’s used to god awfully dubbed Vanish ads, i wonder why they put in all this effort when just badly dubbing seems to have been working fine for all these years. also i forsee them using AI to make somehow even worse dubbed ads
tbf they were dubbed because they were in a different language, the AI vids are just..... they're not even saying anything
I find the most depre ssing thing is you'd think AI would be used to do something just impossible with human actors or CGI, yet it's just replacing adverts that a just a person with a prop and a graphic behind them. The lack of creativity is so fitting.

The same AI that generated The Bull and the Crystal. Well, hot damn!
The reason snoop is featured on so many songs and albums, is that it's "relatively easy" to hire him for a feature. It's like 50-60k to hire him for a couple of hours he come in does his bars and then is out. And then he'll often vary the price on depending on how much he likes you. Its a little extra dystopian when the AI claims to be "the original"
I would be so terrified of having my likeness and voice free for anyone to use as they wish. Like bruh, I bet there's barely any safeguards against making them say some heinous shit, and I bet there's no pulling out after you've signed away the rights to that stuff for the company that can then change owners or anything.
Recording a guy standing there and then editing on moving lips is literally what they did for the movie Baby Geniuses in 1999. The difference is that in Baby Geniuses it was CGI, whereas for this it's AI, which I guess it more efficient but even with the 25 years of tech progress it looks just as uncanny now as it did then.
That London Underground ad has really got me overthinking it. 'It's good to be the king' is a catchphrase in the Mel Brooks movie 'History of the World, Part 1', that is repeatedly spouted by Brooks himself in character as Louis VI every time he does something outrageous. It's advertising cheap travel from London to the city of Tours, which was formerly a royal capital of the Valois dynasty. I don't think the poster's supposed to represent the late Queen Elizabeth II. It's trying to say that any random woman off the street can feel like she's ancient royalty by visiting this wonderful historic city. Basically, the human generated idea behind the ad is sound, if a little too reliant on being familiar with the history of France and an old comedy movie that hasn't aged too well. If they'd just got an artist to make a picture of an everywoman feeling like royalty in Tours, it would have been an OK (if forgettable) ad that would have got a few people googling those cheap flights. But they decided to pinch pennies and got AI to do it. The AI made the woman look a bit like Queen Elizabeth because she's what comes up most when it searches for reference images labelled 'the Queen'. Then it made a really disgusting gloopy image of her with mutant fingers, wearing a stupid Game of Thrones villain crown, riding a confusing bicycle in front of a generic, Disney style French chateau. The AI has single-handedly turned an OK idea for an ad into, surreal, incomprehensible gibberish. Because it's not actually intelligent, it just recycles visual elements based on the tags applied to them by its programmers.
Also 15:30 is just David Pakman playing a teenage tearaway in a 1980's High School movie.
The line between ADS and SCAMS is ever closer thanks to AI... "Deepfakes are unethical! But they are so cheap!" says the out-of-touch head of marketing and laughs with his boss in his office in the delulu tower.
Every once in awhile I forget Toys R US doesn't exist in the US anymore (live across the street from a Toys R US that makes me question if they'll go under eventually here in Canada)
You can listen to this video in the background while ordering food to an AI menu board cashier at your local fast food restaurant in your car that drives itself. This is not a speculative future it's just Taco Bell.
Obv. the car drives through pedestrians and the menu board doesn't know what sells
the only target for ai generated ads is people who wont recognize it. so old people and children, which is only a little sinister
Every time I see a commercial made with AI, I immediately start thinking it's a worthless creator, in the vein of Milano: "Oh, you don't even have the money to hire actors and crew, but you want me to use you as a place to store my money?
10:42 you think its not bad? Try watching that Trivago guy in Dutch. We see this commercial all the time in the Netherlands but his lips look weird. It is CLEARLY Ai. Even if you don't know what Ai is, his lips look weird
12:08 I’ve never been to the Netherlands, but I’m almost certain that speaking Dutch doesn’t require “Elvis lip”. Dude’s upper lip raised up on one side and stayed there through the duration of the ad. 😂
I'm so glad I didn’t go into advertising cause seeing shit like this would make me question life
is it just me or is every "toy" in the toys r us ad just Emojis turned 3D??
They look nothing like the vintage toys they're meant to suggest, that's for sure.
artificially generated visuals and vocals set something in my brain shivering like scooby doo.
there was a study that showed peoples brains are processing and reacting differently to at least deepfake audio (im not sure if i came across any about visuals) even if the person themselves is able to normalize over it.

I’ve consulted other people and the entire wikipedia for donkeys and still have absolutely no idea.
I think the donkey one is also supposed to be a bait and switch, but does a much worse job. The shoe one is just nonsense I think. Might have originally been a pun on "walk-in closet" that the AI botched really badly

Finally something I want to watch on RUclips
The makers of Animal Crossing should be commended for choosing not to censor Michelangelo’s masterpiece. It was probably a tough decision, considering the popular game has a large number of young players. If they veiled it, in a reasonable manner, I’d be unhappy, but not over-upset. The ad, however, is infuriating to me. How dare they, in a commercial made for adults, crudely deface a renowned work of art? What a tasteless move, done in attempt to make their lousy AI-generated commercial look more appealing.
Toys R Us still owns the rights to the greatest ad song of all time, this is like they've given up entirely and are actively driving the business under.
It's shocking how much AI is taking over on so many things. Ads, photos, videos, books even. I'm learning German and it's getting annoying seeing so many German tiktoks and youtube videos that are "teaching" but are just AI.
