I believe that the ad could have been made in a way that supports the "this is like calculators" argument, but I don't think it was. What is the purpose of writing a letter to an athlete? Is it so the athlete gets clear and accurate information about the fact that some person thinks they are cool? No. It is a bonding moment between a parent and child, an opportunity for a child to think about what values they look up to and how those values are reflected in this athlete, and an opportunity for a child to express themselves and practice expressing themselves. AI can help with this. Show Gemini automating a boring process that a parent has to do so they can spend time writing the letter with their kid. Make cultural and language barriers the key element of the ad and show how now somebody can easily rewrite their heartfelt letter in a language that their idol understands. I don't doubt that a lot of the complaints are from people who didn't watch the ad at all, but still this does not feel like luddism to me. This is specifically being upset that AI is being promoted not to augment human bonding, interaction, and learning - but to replace it.
