Wasn't Apple's iconic 1984 ad basically that?
- ChrisArchitect 8mo agoah, good one. Was it Big Blue or Big Brother in general being referenced in that one? Either way I suppose Apple didn't even say much of anything about their product in that one where Anthropic is at least highlighting a feature.
- pseudalopex 8mo agoPeople understood blue Big Brother represented Big Blue. And Steve Jobs named IBM when he discussed the ad.
- gowld 8mo agoApple's ad had a woman dressed like a Hooter's waitress to represent themselves. That makes themselves the focus of attention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErwS24cBZPc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErwS24cBZPc
- jeffbee 8mo agoThat's a pretty weird take. Her costume is typical of track and field athletes of the time, except that her jersey represents the nation of the Apple Macintosh, which you can barely notice in the ad because it flashes by in a split second.
