AI-Generated Holiday Ad Mockery

People don’t like ads. Nor are they fond on AI-generated videos.

Futurims tells us McDonald’s Pulls Down AI-Generated Holiday Ad After Deluge of Mockery:

Humbug aside, the ad assaults the viewer with rapidly-changing scenes played out in AI’s typically nauseating fashion.

It’s in the Netherlands. It’s McDonald’s. It’s about the holidays. It didn’t go well. The ad was pulled after disabling the comment at 20K views on YouTube. And somebody likely got promoted or got a bonus for that.

The production company hired by the ad agency did defend their position (the link in the article is now 404, like it was taken down) by claiming it was “hard work” and that is was still done by “human”. Sounds like complete denial, self-congratulating themselves.
