Yesterday while buying stuff for my cat, some new brand already using AI for the packaging. It's hideous, where's my cutely drawn picture or a handsomely photographed cat!?

It's just bizarre how quickly companies will use AI that looks worse when literally millions of beautiful, real Cat pictures exist.
I said almost all ads, and a large portion of new movies, are ai slop
Where are you getting this from?

we really need an "ai critics" community that's better moderated
you and everyone else on the internet?
Wait, that possum video was AI?
Yeah, baffling I know
I'm already getting tons of suggested videos in my YouTube feed that are blatant AI shit videos with like 150 views. Annoying as fuck.
Edit: like this fucking shite here
3 years seems generous.
I guess it depends on what ads you're talking about. I saw my first television ad using AI last night, but so far they're a rarity on television.
Youtube ads? All over the place. Crappy static ads at the bottom of news pages? All over the place.
It will get worse. Idiocracy level worse.
3 years? I think it will happen much sooner than that.
We're already two years in.
The only ad I've seen so far that I can say with certainty was generated with AI is a new billboard on the highway for a plumbing company using an ai generated image of a bear in overalls unclogging a toilet.
But I also think a lot of ads 2-3 years old were written by or tweaked using an AI, while not 100% generated by one. Ads have always been weird to stand out, but some of them recently are formulaic in their weirdness that it just feels like it had to have some part of it generated.
