I agree those ads are pretty concerning and reinforcing bad human behaviours, but the Ubuntu one shown is boring and vague animations. Hardly a good comparison.

I agree those ads are pretty concerning and reinforcing bad human behaviours, but the Ubuntu one shown is boring and vague animations. Hardly a good comparison. Who cares about those?
- jfoster 2y agoI like Ubuntu but agree that this post would've been better off without the comparison. Let's just ignore it. The Apple Intelligence ads really are sending a terrible message. Humanity needs more honesty, not a higher pile of lies.
- bowsamic 2y agoI don't think it will be possible to ignore it, the bad comparison makes the author seem confused and unreliable
- xanderlewis 2y agoOverly techie people can’t comprehend marketing and think it shouldn’t even exist. Most Linux users probably think advertising should consist of a bulleted list of features and bugs (set in a standard, easy to read font — none of that hipster shit) followed by the price, perhaps conveniently divided by the expected lifetime of the product.
- iolo 2y agoI feel there's a lack of respect for the person being interacted with in these ads. They all end too soon to show the consequences of transparent AI use and imply the other character has never heard of AI. More accurate endings would be: - "I thought we told Warren to stop uploading company emails to chatgpt." - "A photo collage?!, after I spent a week building you that new console table for your birthday."
