Who did the Coke AI ad? What was the genesis behind that ad? It's the first time in years I have had people outright tell me they are disgusted by an advertisement.

For a brand that named itself “the real thing” at one point come out with this soulless drivel for a holiday that is preferred to be about true human connection… well you know.

The sentiments I’m hearing are the same as I was thinking when I saw this ad. Coke has had many great ads over the years that touched people and made you think, “Wish I thought of that.” This antiseptic, obviously Ai-generated ad was the opposite of “The Real Thing”, and lacked any imagination or emotional substance. Whatever agency created this should be embarrassed and Coke should be as well for approving it. Do better.

I love you Creative Director 3.

Pause on Santa's hands...it will make you cringe the fact that whoever the Creative Director is didn't notice how messed up the fingers and nails look. You can definitely tell it's AI by the people and how creepy and un-lifelike they are. Someone should be fired over this, never use AI for real people, especially if you want to be "relatable" and showcase emotion, you can't do that by showing what a computer generated.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
