What was the McDonald's ad? Could you drop a link, perhaps?

  Here's a guardian link that tells the story and includes the ad: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/dec/11/mcdonalds-removes-ai-generated-christmas-ad-advert-backlash https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/dec/11/mcdonalds-r...

      That ad looks like a concatenation of Tiktok shorts.

        That's what happens when you just concatenate the output of an AI trained in Tiktok shorts … (Which is a shame, as IA video generation can do much better if the author cares a bit about what they're doing).

          Looking at it I see familiar elements, which are used by an artist going by the name Gossip Goblin to draw apocalyptic visions of a humanity far in the future that, for the N-th time, almost wiped itself out via increasingly invasive body modifications.

      Both because of the content, and because of the odd perspective shifts in the AI-generated footage. It made me feel like I was drunk.

    Sometimes telling the truth is unwelcome I guess.

Ten people, five weeks, full-time.” If it didn't even save time, then what was the point?
