Meta launched a new AI optimism ad set to a song about human extinction
Summary
Meta has launched a new advertisement aimed at promoting optimism about artificial intelligence, featuring uplifting imagery and a message about betting on people. However, the soundtrack chosen for the ad is David Bowie's song 'Five Years,' a track about humanity panicking after learning the Earth will end in a mass extinction event. This ironic musical choice highlights a broader trend of tech companies inadvertently using dystopian themes in their promotional materials and underscores the disconnect between tech leaders and the humanities.
