It is hard to ignore the similarities between the commotion around the use of AI in making art, to that of using CGI in the early 90s, 00s, and even now. Of course, the former is more vehement.

Also,

soulless and creepy dystopian

It is an ad. That too by a mega corporation known for their unethical practices, what did you expect?

Spoiler; it was always soulless and dystopian.

Bu.. but consumerism is tradition and culture. Coca cola is love, and friendship and happiness.

And hot girls to fuck.

Because people point out how bad the website is but refuse to post the video link for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHIxyGgSU90

Oh ew. That's a mess.

And each shot can only last like 5 seconds from AI limits but each shot looks like a shitty photo morph effect with the weirdest shots...

That's just bad. Like straight up bad and makes me officially root for the complete destruction of coca cola. I'll drink something else.

[–] MonkeyDatabase 1 points 4 hours ago

Each shot actually only lasts 1 second.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

wow I love it, it's so artificial, corporate, bland and full of dead smiles. Fantastically dystopian.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I honestly don't see a difference

[–] brap 10 points 18 hours ago

That hand though

[–] Valmond 6 points 16 hours ago

Wow. Yeah that's a shitty ad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

The comments on this video are hilarious hahahaha

This was a very unsettling video.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago

Just when you thought marketing people were already the lowest scum among legal professions they sink even further.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It’s still iconic. It was always soulless.

[–] Valmond 2 points 3 hours ago

Iconic diabetes drink.

My weird theory:

The reason we are so freaked out by AI imagery, is because that’s what things look like in our dreams, and we’re not supposed to see- consciously, what we create subconsciously.

[–] ladicius 12 points 9 hours ago

Pretty sure most of ai pictury does look nothing like my dreams.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

lol ... this will be our future ... we will exist in a dystopian reality of climate catastrophes and a warming planet, creeping fascism, endless war ... while we will be steadily fed a diet of AI generated sentimental slop from our a recent past that no longer exists.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago

NPCs will get upset when somebody brings up that it is fake...

[–] FlyingSquid 24 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Watching it, even if I didn't know ahead of time it was AI, the stuff with Santa giving the guy the Coke looked so unnatural that I would have to assume it was, at the very least, badly-done CG.

[–] cubism_pitta 13 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

It is 5 second scenes with jump cuts. If you pause any particular scene the AI shows itself really fast. (The fast jumps are a good cover though)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

5 seconds would be fucking long for AI, those scenes are merely 1.5 sec at best. Coca Cola should really have known better to not use AI for such an iconic Ad. I'd really love to know how much money they burned for their Real Magic AI.

[–] jacksilver 2 points 10 hours ago

Yeah the AI videos still really feel mostly like a parralax effect with a background and foreground image. Some of the cutting edge can do more, but I've gotten the feeling it's a lot less consistent/stable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

The road in town shot is fucked if you look at it for like longer than a second. The road is literally like fractured. Maybe it was for American infrastructure realism.

Nah the part about “made by AI” is probably new.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

The ad is from the future, where AI becomes advanced enough to make it

It was sent back in time to warn us about AI, but the message probably was missed

[–] Grogon 16 points 19 hours ago

I hate the ad but I hate the website with the 100 ads even more OMG it took me 5 minutes to finally be able to click on youtube fast enough before getting ported to the top screen without being able to move.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago

Ads are shit. AI ad is also shit.
So surprising.

[–] Lexam 3 points 16 hours ago

Folgers will always have the most wholesome ad.
