My roommates only watched it for the ads and their first comment was about all the AI crap. They were completely disappointed and disgusted by the whole Super Bowl, except for Bad Bunny.
I’m not American so I’m not very invested in the sport, I’ve never watched an event. But even I have watched some of the ads and half-time shows (in fact this is the second time I watched a half-time show, first time was Kendrick Lamar because I already knew I liked his music and he included his “Drake is a fucking pedo” song, which was a baller move on his part).
And even I know, you don’t fuck with the superbowl ads. They have to be awesome, because that literally gets those people watching who don’t even care about the sport. Fucking hell I’ve voluntarily watched the Doritos x Mountain Dew ad with Peter Dinklage and Morgan Freeman at least 20 times lol (at least the song part)
It costs so much money to get an ad spot there and you’re guaranteed millions upon millions of views. Make it fucking count.
I’m probably going to look up and watch the Guy Fieri commercial. That was the only they said was good.
As far as the sport/game, mostly everyone outside of Massachusetts liked the result.
The funniest thing about this is that using AI slop for Superbowl ads is actually peak capitalism. The cost of the ad space itself dwarfs the cost for producing the ads, with AI or not. But the worthless MBAs driving this just can’t help themselves.
Having commercials as a tradition is peak capitalism.
Super Bowl commercials are a beloved tradition
I don’t have as much faith in AI. The manpower cost to have the team keep feeding prompts till it came out with something useful and then the energy bill to generate all the duds probably cost 100x more than it would have to hire writers, actors, editors, a director, and a crew to build sets.
they probably use AI to make the ai prompts.
*slop
As if I needed more reason to not care about the super bowl.
Little quick question: what do you think of advertising from a Marxist perspective?
Is there an alternative to advertising?
I’m starting to think that a one-party BUT multi-tendency socialist society might be a safer bet than a liberal democratic multi-party system.
Is it ads for AI or CGI with AI?
cgi cost more money since it requires people to sorta design it, so AI
There were a lot of ads for AI companies and plenty of ads that also used AI to make their content, so both
I was grossed out by it. They don’t realize people hate them.
According to the article it was ads for AI companies. I didn’t watch it but my guess is they were probably using AI to make the ads.
You remember that SB where it felt like every ad was about crypto? This is the AI Bowl
Hardly comparable. Those that bought crypto that year made money.
Anyone who buys AI is going to loose money.

My family doesn’t GAF about the Super Bowl
And you felt this was important enough to comment here to let all of us know?
Yep, I thought maybe others felt the same. I guess I’ll run my opinions by you next time
The point was the title is “NFL Fans” to be sick of AI ads. Are you an NFL fan? Is your family an NFL fan?
Do you go into threads about a video game or a movie and just say “I don’t care about this stuff”?
Don’t sweat it, they’re probably a bitter, hungover Patriots fan. Aka a Patriots fan.
Nah, Bills fan. I had a great time watching the frauds get exposed.
don’t sweat it ivanafterall is an AI idiot.
At least they made it to post season.
You wanna talk about frauds? I’m a cowboys fan. We are the one true fraud.
But the Seahawks drafted, traded, and brought back the griffin brothers who played at my alma mater. Seemed as good a reason as any to root for them
The bowl I smoked in my garage was more super than that game

depends on what you want from a game. fans of good defense saw something beautiful. miraculous. they saw a team just outright bully another for an entire hour. the other team also faced incredible defense, they just overcame it enough to put enough points on the board to win.
that said.
i hate that all of this knowlege of the game still lives within me when the whole sport is structured around everyone trying to be chill about continuous brain damage
I loved every minute on the field and still like watching the game, but the NFL is a terrible organization and if I had kids I don’t think I’d want them subject to all the concussions I got over the years.
Yeah. I loved playing football, but knowing what I do now I have a very different perspective on the game. I was very good, and probably could have gotten a full-ride scholarship prettu easily if I hadn’t quit for stupid reasons, but now I think my juvenile self may have accidentally made a great call.
Speaking of cte!: did you see that new helmet shape on one of the Patriots’ o line? I really hope it helps, because holy crap did it look goofy AF!
i noticed a padded overhelmet, which players are allowed to opt for. i also noticed some outershell features you didn’t used to see prior to Virginia Tech’s STAR system
I wondered what that helmet covering was on some players, yet not enough to actively search for it.
Cheers for the info
it’s been shown to be shockingly effective at reducing injuries while having the only downside of looking hella dumb. but i’m sure that was the attitude to leatherheads and helmets at some point, too
I’m personally embarrassed by the fact that every time I see one of those players wearing the pillow over their helmet I just think about how bad it looks.
we need a new freak show
stares at you blankly with red eyes
I’m just happy the Pats were exposed as the frauds they were. A lucky team with the 3rd easiest DVOA schedule in NFL history.
It was horrible. Next year im doing my original plan and going skiing. Best ski day because it’s empty. Way better use of my time
I’m not a big sports fan so I can’t believe I’d ever choose the Superbowl over anything. I think I’d rather fold my laundry. Creating custom backgrounds for a 1994 mah jong DOS game feels like a better use of time. But, if you enjoy the game with friends and/or family then it’s probably not a bad use of time.
I don’t like sports in the slightest, but I watch the superbowl every year with my dad or his family. He made porkchops this year. They were pretty good
I suppose it’s heartening that the more we’re forced to see AI slop, the more people seem to hate it.
It’s kind of ugly and not exactly confidence inspiring, since everything they are putting out there the potential customers know how to make the same thing.
I saw an AI ad where they made three AI generated ‘testimonials’. So this told me that not only could they fail to find even three actual customers to just say the words they wanted, they couldn’t even dig up three actors or even three random employees to say the words. How pathetic must your offering be if you can’t get even a handful of real humans to at least lie for it?
potential customers know how to make the same thing
This is 100% why I stay away from it. LLM’s are just a incremental race to the middle, to the generic. Who wants their work product to be exactly the same as everyone else’s?
Watched on my DVR over an hour after the game started so I could fast forward through all the ads.
I also waited an hour but I still had to go live by the start of the fourth quarter. And then being stuck watching the ads was excruciating.
But the game is designed around ads. Imagine paying $5000 for tickets to watch people stand around every 30 seconds.
super what? there’s nothing super about it.
Superb.
Superb Owl.
did it come with a salad?
Also the Olympics had AI generated clips in their opening ceremony, Pandora’s box has been opened unfortunately.
That opening video of the Olympics was disgusting, how they could approve it to show “Italian excellence in design”???
Btw I find hilarious that openai themselves used traditional methods to make their codex ad while everyone else is using the slop generators “we can save $5000 if we bruteforce our way with thousands of prompts”
That pic looks like the female version of Kenneth Copeland.
