The Rise of AI in Advertising
Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a tool for creating advertisements and media content, with companies like Coca-Cola using it to craft promotional materials. Recently, Coca-Cola released a fully AI-generated commercial based on their iconic 1995 holiday ad, which drew significant backlash from the public. The backlash stems from a perceived lack of human creativity and connection in the AI-generated content, raising concerns about the implications of replacing human creativity with technology in the advertising industry. This shift towards AI raises questions about the future of creative jobs and whether AI can replicate the emotional intelligence necessary for effective advertising.
