it's refreshing that i've seen exactly one post about the sportsball game, and it's not even about the sportsball, but about how people are sick of shit to do with advertising
Usually the only way I know the game is on is the increased owl love in my feed.
Go Seagulls!
I'm just glad they beat the New England Pedants. Or is it the New England Pedophiles, that would make more sense considering.

It felt like half the ads were either fully AI generated, used AI slop or were for an AI slop factory company. It turned the game tonight into "which ads aren't AI slop" for me.
I cannot fucking wait for this bubble to burst
Even the traditional ads with big name actors had seriously weird uncanny valley faces.
This was the worst Superbowl for ads IMO. They've been trash for years, buy this was a new low.
Except after this bubble bursts they will bail these companies out with tax dollars.
Gold thing I own gold and am not American
Point is the AI will still be around. Your taxes will just end up subsidizing the US borrowing, as they buy treasuries to buttress their own currencies that are not trusted on their own, because you, like the rest of us, have the wrong people in charge. No matter where you are, we have the wrong people in charge, whether the absolute worst (yet,) or not.
We have a system across the west, of socialized recessions, and privatized gains/profits.

The funniest thing about this is that using AI slop for Superbowl ads is actually peak capitalism. The cost of the ad space itself dwarfs the cost for producing the ads, with AI or not. But the worthless MBAs driving this just can't help themselves.
Having commercials as a tradition is peak capitalism.
Super Bowl commercials are a beloved tradition

It really reminded me of the Super Bowl back in 2000 when all the ads were for websites, which was right before the "Dot Com" bubble burst...
Only difference, is they had good ads and not just insert a celebrity ads.
I heard you like ads
the site may be shady idk click at your own risk

I suppose it's heartening that the more we're forced to see AI slop, the more people seem to hate it.
It's kind of ugly and not exactly confidence inspiring, since everything they are putting out there the potential customers know how to make the same thing.
I saw an AI ad where they made three AI generated 'testimonials'. So this told me that not only could they fail to find even three actual customers to just say the words they wanted, they couldn't even dig up three actors or even three random employees to say the words. How pathetic must your offering be if you can't get even a handful of real humans to at least lie for it?
potential customers know how to make the same thing
This is 100% why I stay away from it. LLM's are just a incremental race to the middle, to the generic. Who wants their work product to be exactly the same as everyone else's?
Also the Olympics had AI generated clips in their opening ceremony, Pandora’s box has been opened unfortunately.
That opening video of the Olympics was disgusting, how they could approve it to show "Italian excellence in design"????
Btw I find hilarious that openai themselves used traditional methods to make their codex ad while everyone else is using the slop generators "we can save $5000 if we bruteforce our way with thousands of prompts"
The bowl I smoked in my garage was more super than that game
depends on what you want from a game. fans of good defense saw something beautiful. miraculous. they saw a team just outright bully another for an entire hour. the other team also faced incredible defense, they just overcame it enough to put enough points on the board to win.
that said.
i hate that all of this knowlege of the game still lives within me when the whole sport is structured around everyone trying to be chill about continuous brain damage
I loved every minute on the field and still like watching the game, but the NFL is a terrible organization and if I had kids I don’t think I’d want them subject to all the concussions I got over the years.
Yeah. I loved playing football, but knowing what I do now I have a very different perspective on the game. I was very good, and probably could have gotten a full-ride scholarship prettu easily if I hadn't quit for stupid reasons, but now I think my juvenile self may have accidentally made a great call.
I'm just happy the Pats were exposed as the frauds they were. A lucky team with the 3rd easiest DVOA schedule in NFL history.

It was horrible. Next year im doing my original plan and going skiing. Best ski day because it’s empty. Way better use of my time
I'm not a big sports fan so I can't believe I'd ever choose the Superbowl over anything. I think I'd rather fold my laundry. Creating custom backgrounds for a 1994 mah jong DOS game feels like a better use of time. But, if you enjoy the game with friends and/or family then it's probably not a bad use of time.

There were may many ai ads and they were fucking awful
So fucking many. When you heard they spent billions and billions on AI I didn't know it was all for Super Bowl commercials
Isn't that the same every year though? You've got all the dumbest, drunkest eyeballs watching, time to roll out the biggest scams.

Watched on my DVR over an hour after the game started so I could fast forward through all the ads.
But the game is designed around ads. Imagine paying $5000 for tickets to watch people stand around every 30 seconds.

I'm more sick of the same 5 celebrities shilling every goddam thing under the sun. Damon, McConaghey, Woody Harrelson, Affleck, I'll take shitty AI over shitty celeb endorsements every time.
That aside... that Beast Mode 'gettin ya lick back' ad at the end dope as shit. I don't even know what they were advertising, but it was one of the highlights of the whole show.
As if I needed more reason to not care about the super bowl.
My family doesn’t GAF about the Super Bowl
And you felt this was important enough to comment here to let all of us know?
Yep, I thought maybe others felt the same. I guess I’ll run my opinions by you next time
The point was the title is "NFL Fans" to be sick of AI ads. Are you an NFL fan? Is your family an NFL fan?
Do you go into threads about a video game or a movie and just say "I don't care about this stuff"?
Don't sweat it, they're probably a bitter, hungover Patriots fan. Aka a Patriots fan.

My roommates only watched it for the ads and their first comment was about all the AI crap. They were completely disappointed and disgusted by the whole Super Bowl, except for Bad Bunny.

The first stream I was using to watch it was from Canada, so I just mainly got patriotic Canadian ads, but that stopped and I ended up on one from Sky Sports. Since it was the UK, I got the bonus of no ads at all!
Is it ads for AI or CGI with AI?
There were a lot of ads for AI companies and plenty of ads that also used AI to make their content, so both

According to the article it was ads for AI companies. I didn't watch it but my guess is they were probably using AI to make the ads.
