Seems like AI-created ads are getting backlash - McDonalds and Coke for example. Are any ad creatives here regularly pitching AI as a production option? Are clients asking for real live actors to differentiate themselves? Is AI much cheaper / faster than traditional production? Doesn’t seem like it was for Coke with subpar results and criticism. Heartwarming holiday ads may not be the best place to start the robot take over.

Any one from google account

What do you do when there’s absolutely nothing going on at work? The projects I’m working on are all in production, and I’ve raised my hand several times about taking on new work, but there’s nothing right now. Don’t get me wrong, the down-time is nice…but I’m hungry to make stuff.

Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.
