Google Wins the Gold Medal for Worst Olympic Ad

The Atlantic - Technology

Google is running a new commercial during the Olympics. It's about a cute little girl--she's a runner, and she loves Team USA's Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, a world-record-holding track star who won two Olympic gold medals in 2021. The little girl wants to write her a letter. "Help my daughter write a letter telling Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone how inspiring she is," he asks Google's Gemini. He instructs it to add a line about how his daughter plans to break McLaughlin-Levrone's world record one day (and to be sure to include the phrase sorry, not sorry.)
