Meta AI Ad Apocalypse Irony
On 23 July, Meta launched an optimistic advertisement for AI using David Bowie’s “Five Years.” The song is about humans learning they have five years before the apocalypse, giving the supposedly inspiring campaign an extinction-themed soundtrack. ArtificialInteligence offered a dry verdict: “Meta AI apparently not smart enough to listen to the entire song.”
Assuming the report is factual, impact is 0%. The effect is confined to Meta’s advertising campaign and viewers’ interpretation of it. The song choice turns AI optimism into accidental apocalypse irony, with no stated change to Meta AI itself.
Watch whether Meta keeps, edits, or withdraws the advertisement and whether the company comments on the song choice.
