Funny, I too reported it a long time ago, with the predictable response that it’s not breaking any of Google’s rules.

It also tells me how primitive Google Ads are, when they keep showing me an ad I reported.

I also reported it - twice - and was fobbed off.

The frustrating thing is, this is very easy for AI to detect. Just feed the image into any AI and it will tell you it is deceptive.

When you are being paid to not care it becomes very hard to care.

Why wouldn't they? They still get paid for it, and if you could block an ad by reporting it, you'd just report every ad until there were no ads.

There is too many ads to report all of them. But a don't show me this, that also affected on report as a negative signal to reduce the possibility of that specific ad to you.

Unlikely. The effectiveness an ad has on you is related to the amount you think about that ad - and nothing else. It doesn't matter whether they are positive or negative thoughts.
