      I can only remember one McDonald’s ad which featured some kind of burger-UFO. That was pretty funny.

      They’re all soulless and horrible, but the uncanny valley jank-fest is unsettling in a way that’s worse.

        They’re all crap. They’re ads. Would you prefer static images of various restaurant locations set to royalty free music?

          I’m sorry you didn’t like my opinion.

          Not sure what your proposal is supposed to say given that I have an example of what I would prefer, and that you seem to be saying that all ads are equally bad.

            I’m trying to understand the specific reason you dislike it. I don’t believe the reason is the uncanny thing… it’s gotta be more. It could just be a blanket anti-ai thing but that’s just ignorant. Some people hated sound and color when they came to film. Are you a silent film kinda person?

              Since I’m not anti AI (I think it’s a bit crap but I don’t hate it) it’s not that.

              I don’t believe your latest question is serious. If you don’t believe that I (along with many others here) find it visually unappealing, there’s nothing left to say. You have to either believe the person you’re talking to or not have a useful conversation - you won’t be able to access my feelings except through what I say about them, will you?

                There are very good reasons to this like this, but (most) everyone here who does dislike it just seems to dislike it for the most petty reasons.

                  Uncanny valley is a perfectly good reason. If you saw an ad with shitty CG I’m sure you’d agree.

                    To dislike it, maybe, to take to social media condemning the company? No.

                    (I’m not trying to defend McDonald’s for the record, I dislike them jsyk)
