I guess I'll be the lone voice in the crowd saying that I thought the McDonald's Xmas #GenAI ad was mildly amusing.
Not that I want MORE like it. I even question the idea of even putting it out as an actual ad, instead of just some fun social media thing.
But as a dumb one-off novelty: it's harmless.
I know: boo, hiss, etc. As usual the anti-AI crowd violently overreacts, turning an ill-advised, semi-creative shitpost into an affront to God.
But the anger masks the real issue: many are rightfully concerned about their ongoing employment as corporations turn to automating their jobs away (a feeling I understand all too well).
But you'd never know that because the majority of them are too busy lashing out, slinging the word "slop" around, and generally feeling self-righteous as they high five the rest of the clique, instead of directly engaging the issues.
So, once again, I find myself in agreement that there's some very important, actual existential concerns underlying all of this, while rejecting the obnoxious mob mentality trying poorly to express them.

Yes, people don't talk shit about Reiner post-death because people genuinely liked him, and he was apparently an actually good man.
Trying to compare him with Charlie Kirk is fucking laughable, you absolutely delusional ass-clowns.
