Commercials used to be creative ads selling real products from real companies.
Now it's AI generated robots trying to sell me tai chi walking or articulation training. Sigh.
Edited to add: These creative ads from real companies became cultural catch phrases. "Yo quiero Taco Bell!" "Back off, get your own sandwich!" "Weaddababyitsaboy." Never gonna happen with today's AI slop ads.
I like to imagine that all pharmaceutical commercials take place in a shared universe separate from our own but eerily similar in a combination of Plato’s Cave and Us (2019; directed by Jordan Peele). There are also some elements of existential horror a la Edgar Allen Poe.
