Every tech commercial in this year's Super Bowl sucked
Someone had to say it.
- PaulHoule 9mo agoOverall the theme for Superbowl ads was "getting high on our own supply." When you've got an audience that big you need to to be speaking to everyone in a language they can understand and way too many ads, tech or not, were just unfunny inside jokes.
- mikeaskew4 9mo agoNot just high, demolished.
- clipsy 9mo agoI thought Anthropic's commercials were pretty good at skewering advertising in AI, but from an effectiveness standpoint I don't know how much Joe Sixpack cares about (or is even aware of) different AI companies.
- mikeaskew4 9mo agoTotally agree. It’s all the same to more than most people. And I don’t think anyone’s going to switch to Anthropic because of ads. They’ll switch because it’s a better product.
- vitaflo 9mo agoMost people haven't even used any AI at all. None of these ads gave a reason as to why they should even start.
- biglyburrito 9mo agoThe Anthropic one bagging on ChatGPT likely adding ads was pretty funny. The rest were forgettable.
- mikeaskew4 9mo agoAgreed, but seemed like it was only funny if you’re an AI power user. Presumably the general population is more concerned about data privacy than ads (as part of a service). Seems like sowing distrust in any form is a bad move for everyone.
- vitaflo 9mo agoThe general population has never used any of these products and haven't heard of most of them except maybe ChatGPT in passing. All these AI ads had the same problem as the crypto ones of years past, nobody is going to understand WTF any of this stuff is because it's all too inside baseball.
- DustinEchoes 9mo agoBetter than the nft and crypto commercials of years past.
- bediger4000 9mo agoCoinbase did have one of the ultra boring commercials. I couldn't figure it out until the very last word of the commercial, "Coinbase".
