> 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.

They are back at it again, (possibly, it looked like ai) this time it featured a man knocking a water tank with the VO saying something like “One knock and you’ll know it’s good”. It aired around 1:20pm today on 10 Wollongong if anyone is interested.

Using AI for the animals is somewhat understandable but this is not… So sad.

Interesting choice of Matt Berry for this MLC ad. Also know as a vampire on What We Do In The Shadows TV series, the voice of Absolute Radio UK and many other commercials.

For a luxury department store, it appears now David Jones has seemingly generated AI footage of a dog for a new TV commercial for their newly revamped loyalty program called David Jones Rewards which is currently doing the rounds.

The whole campaign was terrible the agency should be sacked.

I’d prefer the Kmart cloned ads to this one.

> 
> In[its submission](https://adstandards.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/0254-25.pdf), the brand said: “Toyota considers that the impression of the overall advertisement is consistent with the theme of its broader and established marketing campaign, ‘Oh what a feeling,’ which often uses emotional connection to promote the benefit of the product — or in this case, a ‘rally car feeling’ for a motorsport-inspired consumer vehicle.”
> 
> However, Toyota ultimately accepted Ad Standards’ ruling that the ad depicted unsafe driving and has directed its media agency to discontinue the campaign, although a version remains on YouTube, uploaded by creative agency Hero.

Probably CGI, rather than AI.

I just saw a ad for Uber Eats on The 10 App and it an introductory offer but it sounded so robotic. I’m not sure if it was an AI voice or some real but it was super cheap… Even the video looked like a Powerpoint Presentation with stock video footage sandwiched between, which for a company that _allegedly_ scams thousands from restaurants is embarrassing…

I came across that ad, too. I didn’t look at it, but the voice over certainly sounded unnatural to me. I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that it’s popped up so soon after Menulog announced its closure.

Wrong variant of the Inn Style Mensland ad aired just before 6:30am QLD time this morning on Sunrise. Happy Mother’s Day? That was 6 months ago. It’s now November and it’s nearly Black Friday time lol.

The Youi TV ads with Ed Kavalee needs two things:

1 - Sam Pang to rip into him and,  
2 - Narelle to rip into him.
