✦AI Summary
Meta released an optimistic advertisement promoting AI, but the choice of David Bowie's 'Five Years' as the soundtrack has drawn criticism due to the song's lyrics about an impending apocalypse. The ad aims to counter negative narratives about AI, but the musical choice has been widely perceived as tone-deaf.
Meta’s newest advertisement begins with a black-and-white shot of an eye, showing us what someone sees as they read countless panicked headlines about how AI is going to take our jobs, isolate us, and spark a global crisis.
