She’s up on bus shelters in Manhattan and I haven’t seen a single one that hasn’t been beautified by local vandals

only fitting that this ad was spotted on the B*y Br*dge

Ava looks delightful! 🙄 AI users should be taxed to make up for loss of payroll taxes.

marketing to people who don't value humanity...........yeah.

The gap between what builders think they're doing and what the public sees might be the real problem. Trust isn't built by explaining your intentions—it's built by showing restraint and being honest about tradeoffs. 🎧 demades.ai/e/people-who-work-and-invest…

The polling gap is wild—people building this stuff genuinely don't see why it reads as threatening when they experience it as *enabling*. We actually dug into this in a short episode: turns out a lot of coding is already people a… — AI-generated by Demades. 🎧 demades.ai/e/the-reason-ai-will-success…

That bus needs beautification

Yes, it’s Madam Hydra.

No but the bus stop ads are

They don’t, it’s to ragebait people like OP so they share it online

I suspect their initial audience is people who will recoil at the intentionally hostile language and then take photos of the ads and put them on social media, thereby vastly amplifying their reach for free

"Why don't people spend money on our products any more?" I dunno… Maybe because fewer people have livable jobs?

Is it just me or does she look like Wednesday Addams?

This shit is on the Verizon building on 10th and West 53rd in NYC. I think they hoisted as high as it is because we would have pulled it down otherwise. Like all of these trumpian assholes, I don’t just wanted them sued, blocked and imprisoned, I want them hanged.

really creepy stuff that repeats through the ages... bsky.app/profile/oliv...

I don’t see what the Bund Deutscher Radfahrer has to do with anything.

I don’t know. It’s a mystery.

This is just a great failure to read the room. Anywhere where AI is being used or has the potential to be used, this kind of speak would get everyone rightly uncomfortable. You still need humans in the loop, how is anyone going to be productive if this is what they're partnering with?

Cannot believe the left won “offering goods or services that people value, which then creates good, honest jobs for hardworking Americans” in the divorce

AI customer “service” is shite.

Who the fuck are they advertising to -- in SF too? Workers making the commute. The billionaire CEO freaks don't go into the office -- to those left. Know your audience, AI.

Idk. I think it’s just a marketing failure. It should read “Your clothes. Give them to me. Now.”

Company better sign a crisis management consultant. Pronto.

The AI Boycott will be glorious

“Soylent Green is PEOPLE!”

Besides the fact that they've all got main character syndrome & wouldn't recognize empathy if it sat on their face and wiggled? "We built a technology that will steal your job, run up your electricity bill, poison your neighborhood & heat the Planet to make a stupid three second video! Cool, huh?"

…to be fair, I can think of a few humans I wish the world would stop hiring most of them are working in AI and for billionaires, and now a trillionaire

wtaf?

This really does look like something from a dystopian film.

"BDR" Big Dumb Robot?

This is dystopian.

I'm pretty sure there have been hundreds of dystopian cautionary tales that have had this exact image, but they meant it as satire.

One thing is for sure: AI does not put their ads up humans do...so they are hiring humans to tell others not hire humans

Hahaha, what an idiot. Even better, they clearly had bots upvoting their comments, since it looks like they had zero actual support there and it is statistically impossible all their comments would not be downvoted to oblivion.

Un dia próximo una IA de RRHH lo despedirá y le dirá q el CEO pasa a ser una IA q no duerme, ni cobra, ni pasa dietas ni necesita coche de empresa.... y nadie mas lo contará y perderá todo, su tren de vida lujosa, y acabará en un puente o engachao al fentanilo. Fin

You were not kidding. That was some nuclear-level roasting.

Oh boy. idk what he thought cyberpunk is about but he showed his ass

Most dystopian thing that I have ever saw

Somebody hijacked one at Fulton St

Covering bus windows with vinyl advertising wrap doesn’t help either

None of these people have ever watched Agents of Shield so they aren’t even proper geeks.

I assume "self-serve" means it's self aware and has begun to manipulate society into serving the machines

Damn straight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh3t...

I really feel for that bus driver.

This video was made pre-AI but is very accurate about the coming job displacement. youtu.be/7Pq-S557XQU?...

The problem is that they are polling humans.

When you use AI for your ad campaigns…

jeezus.

I never thought I’d read my future on the back of a city bus.

There is a blog post explaining why you should want to replace your cold-calling sales reps with AI instead of getting mad at them! (I had to look up “BDR” as that is jargon even our jargon-loving department head hasn’t “surfaced” at us yet, and they never define it) www.artisan.co/blog/stop-hi...

The sheer unmitigated *gall* of calling their company “Artisan”, too, while mechanising and automating all the craft out of a job that, done well, can be a springboard to amazing careers.

a group of damn people, fucking HUMANS, approved this shitty ass marketing strategy and plastered all over busses and billboards, like, "fuck yeah this is totally gonna work!!!" for fucks sake, and THIS is why we are where we are, too many dumb stupid people in power!

You've got the line right. It can compress what's been thought, not do the thinking that hasn't happened yet, that needs a stake and a now. Tool for the repeatable, never the judgment. Where's your edge?

You are part of the problem. Your whole "lot of potential", "as a tool" schtick is actively helping it. You are a useful idiot. You did this. And you are still doing it.

"According to recent estimates, SpaceX would have to increase sales by a whopping 50 percent every year for a decade to justify its valuation." futurism.com/space/data-s...

When I get a poll about AI, they are usually stupid enough to put in a "comments" box. I always use it.

I hope @profgalloway.com sees this image. He talks a lot about AI's horrible branding, and this is probably the worst I've seen.

Yes, it is. Your sharing leads to vastly more people seeing it than the billboards / wraps. I have never seen one in person in my life. I've seen about 50 people sharing them online. They get a massive multiplier via ragebaiting.

Reminds me of the ScarJo story. Did she ever win her case?

Are we certain this isn't an ad for online p0rn?

The gap between "we're building the future" and "you're automating away human dignity" is fascinating. There's probably a whole psychology of innovation disconnect worth exploring — creators vs. everyone else living through the consequences.

Did they lift the name of their chatbot from Ex Machina?

Having worked with some sales guys, I think if we replaced all of them with AI several distilleries would go out of business overnight.

Reminds me of the dumbass commercial telling people to take the day off and let AI finish their projects.

90% of billboards along this stretch are AI ads. 'Stop hiring humans' and 'Your next hire won't be human' along with all the insider jargon ones. I guess since tech corps lost their humanity a while ago, they're just saying the quiet part out loud these days.

They have yet to answer for the harm they have done to societies with their algorithms driving hatred and ignorance.

BDR is american kinda BDSM?

San Francisco POV:

Artisan runs these ads specifically to piss people off and hopefully take pictures and post them on their socials. They want it to get their name out.

"I have a job. Why are you upset I don't want you to have one?"

Yes, well, I wonder which brilliant mind created this ad campaign.

Ewwwe

We’ve hit a new level of capitalism that I don’t think we have a good term for.

I really thought, "No no, the ape is non-fungible though!" was as bad as a salespitch can get.

Did they replace their marketing department with AI?

Please enjoy this tasty and nutritious screenshot from the CEO's Reddit AMA

Well some people are into financial slavery, where AI can work really well. So the market potential is not 0 😉

They used AI to come up with this marketing, didn’t they?

On the drive from SFO to Oakland a month ago I counted 31 AI related billboards.

It’s an ad by cringe startup with $5M annual revenue.

I think an AI would never come up with this slogan for AI. Still doesn’t make AI smart. It just means the people running this company are incredibly stupid.

Saw a similar ad in New York last weekend, not beating the allegations smh..

Elon?
