Apple is not the only one embroiled in advertising controversies. Recently, Google announced the removal of an ad that aired during the Olympic Games. The content featured a father encouraging his child to use Gemini to write a letter to their favorite runner, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, a track and field athlete for Team USA. The ad depicted the father expressing admiration for Sydney and stating his intent to break her records in the future.
The issue with this advertisement lies in the use of Gemini to compose the letter instead of having the child write it themselves. This method has been criticized for not reflecting the child’s intentions authentically, suggesting that such messages should be crafted personally rather than relying on AI assistance.
Google has removed this ad from various platforms but it can still be viewed on YouTube.
