Google pulls AI ad that irked some Olympics viewers | National News
Google has pulled an ad for its Gemini AI tool from Olympics coverage as some viewers thought it sent the wrong message. The ad, titled "Dear Sydney," aimed to showcase the capabilities of Gemini AI. It featured a father warmly narrating how the tool wrote a fan letter from his daughter to US hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.
Google confirmed on Friday that they had decided to withdraw the ad after it failed to resonate with certain Olympics viewers.
