Found this off Adgile’s Vimeo page. It’s for Southern Design RV in Geelong. Not sure what year it’s from, but I could assume the 2020s?

Today they are located in Ballarat and the old Princes Hwy Corio site is now occupied by **I ❤ THIS SHOP**.

When did happen that so many TVCs contain such long T and Cs, caveats and explanations in microscopic print. Seems to be the majority now. Used to be minimal like “Overseas model shown” in a car commercial. What’s the point? It’s not like you have a chance to read them.

I’ve seen this Swysh banner ad a few times on FOX Footy tonight during programming.

Really hope this doesn’t become a thing.

Not sure if this is the correct thread to post this but…

I’ve noticed that “Tankworld” has a commercial airing for the last couple of months that featured what looks to be AI generated animals, notably a Kangaroo and a koala.

I don’t have a photo of it but i know @Radio_TVGuy you have access and might be able to catch in on 10 Wollongong?

Yes! I was going to add that Airbnb ad but i’m not sure if it’s AI or actually man made considering their not short of a quid.

I’m not sure about the IMG ad since i haven’t seen it.

Also not really a TVC but the end card of The Block in the promo looks AI edited.

I managed to grab a capture of it tonight to have a better look.

It’s definitely sloppy, the noodles the character is holding on the left bounce up and down on their own and the top down shot of the noodles going into some weird liquid does not look right.

There is probably more but I only had a quick look at it just now. They tried though and it is concealed more by having a comical look to hide the flaws when trying to made it look too realistic.

The ING one I only partially saw on TV the other night as I usually mute and look away during breaks (I can’t stand todays ads).  
It was some human but looking like a lion in a pool on one of those floating chair things. His face wobbles all over the place and when the phone is dropped the phone bounces and wobbles all over the place. It looks terrible.

Oh yeah that one! I’m not sure considering i haven’t really seen it that much and i didn’t look to much into it but if it is AI it’s pretty good. It looks like someone actually physically made it IMO.

Either way, unfortunately we will get to a point where AI is used more then currently on TV and it will be totally unrecognisable.

But he’s floating in a pool. That’s probably why his head is wobbling. It looks like guy in a lion costume to me. His mane holding the phone is probably CGI rather than AI.

Judging by what the St George Illawarra “Dargons” do on "Staurday"s, it’s bog standard for the area. 🤣
