Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I didn’t think I’d see a time where people would be thrilled over an advertisement. This was the norm four years ago and no one was jubilant.

Superbowl ads have been a pop culture phenomenon for decades.

Well I try not to advertise it too much anymore, but it is the final round of our annual tournament today, so this is the best time to check it out....

I was hoping you were going to do exactly this, nice!

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

It is on topic...no AI in Owl of the Year.

We're big enough I try not to spam anymore, but this was just begging for it.

Those are some spiffing owls.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Well we have narrowed it down from around 250 to our two favorites at this point so I would hope so 🙂

We've got heaps of them. I hope you check it out and vote if you can decide between 2 equally amazing owls.

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I did just now, they are both amazing creatures.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Thank you for participating! 🦉

It's when they celebrate how great owls are.

More than great, superb.

I think the Superbowl is some sports game thing in the US. Probably football.

Is that the hand egg thing?

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 1 month ago

French people haven't seen a single superbowl ad in their live.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (3 children)

There were dozens and dozens of TV ads back in the day that found their way into pop culture.

"Where's the beef!"

Budweiser frogs

Wasssuuuppp!

Old Spice's "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like,"

The Crying Indian

I could go on all afternoon.

The Most Interesting Man In the World

Trunk Monkey ...

We are speaking about french commercial here: "Tu dépasses les bornes des limites, Maurice"
"Reviens, Raymond ! On a les mêmes à la maison !!"
"Et paf ! Ça fait des chocapics."
"Paf ! Paf ! Paf ! Le loup !"
"On se lève tous pour Danette !"

I've been watching Cannes Lions Awards for years, they show creative ads and most of them are hilarious.
