I'm not going to post a link to them because I'm not promoting that shit with a ten foot pole, but they're those ads where a couple of women are shopping and one of them is like "Hey Gemini, tell me what product to buy!" And the AI scans the shelf of products and says "Sure thing bestie, buy that one because its number one with your favorite influencer!" Or some something like that.

They have this weird dystopian vibe to them too. Are marketers going their way to make AI seem as unappealing and creepy as possible?

I only ever see them when I'm using other peoples stuff. It's always really jarring.

Whenever I visit someone who watches TV my first thought is always a shocked "wtf, how do you live like this?" as they zone out for the commercial break every five minutes.

It poisons the brain, it has to be detrimental to mental health to be subjected to this for your whole life. When you don't see them for weeks and then it pops up it feels offensive.
