I thought the McDonalds one was good and what does it matter it was AI ; mcdonalds makes artificial food and everything about the place is artificial so why not artificial ads?

I'm pro-AI but I thought the Coca-Cola and McDonald's ads were shit. The Coke one was especially egregious because if the creators hadn't been lazy they could have made it look half-decent. Instead it's janky and inconsistent and ugly.

  The worst part about the Coke ad is the fake "making of" video they released to show how much manual work went into their ads. The "pencil sketches" ostensibly made by humans in the making of were also AI-generated.

  I don't usually make salads with 750 calories and an entire day's worth of sodium when I cook.

    You probably do, but you don't count the calories, and instead of everything being in the salad, you have a few ingredients outside (bread, nuts, cheese, whatever). Salads being a healthy, low-calorie thing is an idiocy; it's only possible if you don't use any dressing, and at this point you are only eating crunchy water. Otherwise, the oil in the dressing is over 800 kcal per 100g. Most people will put the equivalent of 50-70g of bread just as dressing in their salad. It's mostly fat and not filing. In other words, it's extremely dumb to think salads are healthy; only fat women believe that shit and this is exactly why they end up like this.

      First Americans invented how to ruin salads with dressings, now they are complaining that dressings make salads less healthy. Whew, how ironic.

        I'm not American; I'm French. We invented the vinaigrette, and I have worked at quite premium restaurants. You are just clueless, and it's not even worth explaining. Salad is a stupid meal for rich people to feel superior. It's wasteful and plain stupid. And if you are actually a worker (or someone who needs to be physical), you are ingesting the wrong type of calories. But that's the whole point. It's not sustainable for a worker; thus it is a class signifier.

      Buddy, 100g of olive oil is like 7 tablespoons. Not even Americans put that much on one salad.

        I have premium French dressing in my fridge. It's 483 kcal/100g. The recommended serving size is 2 tablespoons, but most people actually put in at least 3. That's about 20-30 g of vinaigrette. In other words, it's about 150 kcal just for the vinaigrette, or about 50g of bread. You are an idiot, I'm not your buddy, go fuck yourself.
