The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot

[multiplex@hachyderm.io]

@finestructure @ketan @drahardja jesus I hope so

[simonbp@social.linux.pizza]

@ketan His prompt was seriously "make my charts beautiful"? What did the slopbot do? Add more fingers to his mediocre bar chart?

[theogrin@chaosfem.tw]

@tasket @ketan

Remember those Lorax SUV ads?

[kirakira@furry.engineer]

@ketan holy fucking shit lmao

[samiamsam@mastodon.social]

@ketan

what the actual fuck is going on

[knutson_brain@sfba.social]

@ketan
Then Kyle's boss fired Daniel and Kyle and turned to Copilot...

[joltrast@mastodon.social]

@ketan Wow, that is a wild take. This ad is aimed at CEOs and productivity managers, not users. CoPilot can make your employee's work mind-numbingly boring and irrelevant. Anyone can push a button #maskoff

[monocularvision@mastodon.social]

@ketan except he asks it to make his beautiful? I see nowhere that he asks AI to copy the other chart.

@ketan @bridget

As Deray says:
WATCH WHITENESS WORK

[hi_cial@donphan.social]

@ketan the most 2026 usa ad ever, hand them an award

[hi_cial@donphan.social]

@monocularvision @ketan but the narrative and framing make it clear he's doing this after having a neg reaction to peers calling a coworker's beautiful

what is that if not asking ai to replicate what got his peer praised?

@finestructure @ketan @drahardja AI ads are unironically this cringe. My (least) favourite one was by Apple in which a wife forgets her husband's birthday, gets passively upset at her children for remembering and getting gifts, then uses AI to "gift" her husband something like a collage or montage of photos from her phone, something that phones create automatically these days.

@ketan

Why is it shot like a horror movie?

[budududuroiu@hachyderm.io]

@ketan literally any other combination would've gotten the same response:

- roles reversed: showing whites as victims of "stealing work"
- monoracial (white): product promotes white supremacy
- monoracial (non-white): stereotyping X race as "plagiarisers"

Maybe we tone down on the idpol when we really need some class solidarity, eh?

[feral_3d@mastodon.social]

@ketan That's messed up.

[datguydavid@yiff.life]

@ketan
The gloves have come off, y'all

[peachfront@mas.to]

@ketan

they even named him "kyle," is it satire or are they "honestly" this clueless

[peachfront@mas.to]

@paulcox @ketan

i mean they almost had to...???

[un_blaze@eldritch.cafe]

@hi_cial @monocularvision
He actually does "copy" the work, bottom roght of the screen you can see what he types.
