alt Hacker NewsWhat is especially bad about this ad? To me it seems no worse than the infernal Paintin Manning ad from last year or the State Farm Megan Trainor ad this year. If this was on rotation in NFL games it wouldn’t make me scramble for the mute button any faster than other ads.

Well, for a start it's a bad concept, but also the actual images are kinda nightmarish. The living teddy bear is particularly off-putting. And it's very obviously AI slop; physics is at best a mild suggestion.
