Google Pulls “Dear Sydney” Olympics Ad After Backlash To Its Portrait Of A Young Girl Using AI

My wife and I saw this ad in the theatres before the movie and just looked at each other like, "what the fuck?".

Even making it from the daughter's perspective would have made it so much better. AI is helpful for writing to get some ideas, but why is it so hard for companies to understand people want human interaction in their projects... Who was that ad even for?

As a final note, the "just like you" felt so weird and made me uncomfortable; it took the daughter's voice away basically.

You can tell there are too many yes-men in a company when that ad can get approved.

There are three links in that article and 100% of them are useless tag bullshit. Zero links to the ad.
