Even the McConaughey ads. Oh, without AI they booked you a table in the rain? Well, the restaurant will definitely force you to sit out there and you have no choice but to sit there and take it. If only AI could save you! - ThreadSky

Hadn’t even realised that was the implication of it! That’s so dire…
It requires you to have the mental capacity of a 2 year old child for it to make logical sense.

aricmiehe.bsky.social•27 days ago

ESPECIALLY the McConaughey ad.

zrcr.bsky.social•27 days ago

He's also the only dumb ass sitting at a table in the rain. Not to mention, I doubt the restaurant is making their staff take him food out there. Lol

rjva.bsky.social•27 days ago

That ad is great because, even if you initially accept its premise that having AI adjust reservations based on weather could be useful, it immediately undermines that premise by reminding you that using an awning avoids the problem altogether.

It's an unintentionally perfect encapsulation of AI.

anubisthejackal.bsky.social•27 days ago

Okay, but actually, bringing back those "THERE'S GOTTA BE A BETTER WAAAAY!" infomercials where the person is a complete fucking moron who can't tie their own laces will be entertaining.

doitinprivate.bsky.social•27 days ago

Siri can’t even parse my Mississippi accent. I’m less worried about AI every day.

bduz.bsky.social•27 days ago

It’s the dumbest ad ever, probably written by AI.

ericbono.bsky.social•27 days ago

There's Got To Be A Better Way!

bdetterules.bsky.social•27 days ago

I think AI is going to create more morons.

iconoplasty.bsky.social•27 days ago

AI could vanish tomorrow. Nobody would miss it.

That's the bottom line IMO

mouthybitch.bsky.social•27 days ago

We'd lose a finger but that's about it.

norbizness.bsky.social•27 days ago

They really are pushing pushing pushing it as if their lives depended on it, but as @sethdmichaels.bsky.social pointed out most people's reactions are WOULD YOU FUCK OFF WITH THAT SHIT

imteachinheah.bsky.social•27 days ago

Don’t even get me started on how all the tech bros who received excellent educations and read books as kids are profiting off the stupidization of today’s kids. They are trying so hard to ensure the next generation is the mental equivalent of the flabby people in Wall-e. They do not give a damn.

"This restroom didn't have Salesforce AI, so when I scheduled a trip to the toilet to take a massive shit, I ended up with a fist full of quarters in my ass and a shaved taint."

Ridiculous commercial

themarcwess.bsky.social•27 days ago

I have just learned that was an AI commercial. I watch my fb games with the sound off. My wife appreciates it and I think I get to watch more fb that way.

brennacgray.bsky.social•27 days ago

So I thought fb here was Facebook and you were watching some kind of hunger games / murderdrome show about your Facebook friends.

jjgass.bsky.social•27 days ago

I feel as if I’m smarter than the average American of my age, & I attribute it mostly to living in Europe & therefore rarely watching TV commercials for the past 20 years.

mkanger.bsky.social•27 days ago

And they for sure will be ordering your food in advance and forcing you to eat it

scooby-diver.bsky.social•27 days ago

Also, let us order for you!

cutterjohn.bsky.social•27 days ago

Poor McConaughey, too insecure to tell the host(ess), no I don't think I'll sit out there in the rain, thank you.

chownoir.bsky.social•27 days ago

I know someone who proudly proclaims how much they depend on AI to order a meal for them at a restaurant and what kind of drink to go with it.

Same person also touts crypto and 🤮

It's like when celebs were doing crypto ads 🤦‍♀️.

elsid704.bsky.social•27 days ago

This. I’m thinking “that dude’s a famous actor. He doesn’t have to sit in the rain.”

steventdennis.bsky.social•27 days ago

It is an incredibly stupid ad. Nobody thinks that dude has trouble getting a table without some nebulous AI “agent”

steve36893.bsky.social•27 days ago

I always think, “That’s exactly what a computer program *would* do to you. If only you had had a human being to help you.”

siduspreclarum.bsky.social•27 days ago

Wait, that's a real ad?!

siduspreclarum.bsky.social•27 days ago

I thought @kevinmkruse.bsky.social was doing an extreme parody omg.

josparsons.bsky.social•27 days ago

So THAT’S what they were trying to sell. I always turn off the volume when commercials come on.

aprillia.bsky.social•27 days ago

Counterpoint, McConaughey is that dumb.

jaden4808.bsky.social•27 days ago

I don't watch connercials but I watched that one twice because I couldn't figure out what was going on. Don't even know what it was
for.

keithkothman.bsky.social•27 days ago

*Especially* the McConaughey ads. How were we ever able to figure out not sitting in the rain and buying awful clothes before AI?

laprofmme.bsky.social•27 days ago

I loved the Gemini ad where the girl typed in “pet friendly italian restaurant” and it found some google results for her, exactly as if she had just … googled it directly

kevinmkruse.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yeah, what a miracle that was

saraht74.bsky.social•27 days ago

Especially those ads. No one could ask him what he wants to eat and serve it to him! It's outside a restaurant's capabilities!!!
