The cheesy, white-culture, corporate "comedy" of Google and Facebook over the years straddles the cringeworthy and sad. I wish they could just showcase the technology with some upbeat music and let the tech speak for itself. All these snarky people make me hate their product more. I now want to use ChatGPT more just to spite them.

White-culture? I'm really not sure how you can come to such a conclusion based on the video posted.

That's most of the video already. Although I admit there is a ton of bolded text statements popping up that I'm not a fan of...

Yes, white culture. Black people don't find that kind of stuff funny or cute. Middle Easterners don't. Most Europeans don't. Africans don't. South Americans don't. Asians don't. Some out-of-touch, white Americans do. That's the target audience, I suppose. It's snarky and hollow.

All white people aren't upper middle class coastal people. There are also additionally upper middle class coastal people that are black and middle eastern and like upbeat tech videos. Begone with your racism.

it's not necessarily the target audience, but it's who's making these videos generally — mainstream american culture has always had a major yuppie component as a primary feature, google has embodied this for quite some time

Woke people always come to that conclusion.

I thought it was interesting to see how they are presenting it to a general audience. So far AI search tools feel geared towards “serious questions”, you have to choose to go out of your way to use them. I thought it was interesting to see how they are spinning it to become more of an active technology

Not cool being openly racist here no matter your views.
