Every once in a while I'm somewhere with cable and my wife and I like to watch it and laugh at the commercials. The commercials are not supposed to be funny, but boy are they sometimes entertaining, especially when one of us spots evident AI like how the fuck did that make it past so many people

    Imagine someone looking at terrible slop and saying: “You know what, this is good enough to be published”. Does that person really exist somewhere in the chain? Does that person really know what they’re doing? Maybe there are multiple people like that.

    I've set things up so I never see ads (uBlock Origin, AdGuard Home, etc.) but I watched an NBA game the other day on broadcast TV and immediately saw a Wendy's ad that was entirely AI generated. Blew my mind. It was slick. I'd bet most people that are accustomed to seeing ads wouldn't have even noticed.
