- The AI Olympics ad controversy arose when Google’s ad for its chatbot, Gemini, initially “tested well” but faced backlash for portraying AI as a substitute for parenting and creativity.
- The ad, featuring a father using Gemini to help his daughter write a fan letter to an athlete, was criticized for promoting the idea that children don’t need to develop their own writing skills.
- Viewers expressed strong negative reactions on social media, with some calling the ad “gross” and “inhuman,” leading Google to remove it from TV rotation.
- Despite the backlash, the ad remains available on YouTube with comments disabled, highlighting mixed reactions from some viewers who found it touching.
- This incident follows other tech ads, like Apple’s “Crush,” that also faced criticism for their portrayal of technology’s role in creativity.
