58. Top 10 AI-Related Super Bowl AI Stories

OpenAI is set to air its first television commercial during Super Bowl LIX, marking the company’s initial foray into commercial advertising.

The company that makes ChatGPT. They’re spending millions to tell us they exist.

I mean, do they really need a Super Bowl ad? “Hey, have you heard of ChatGPT?”

And OpenAI is dropping $8 million for 30 seconds. For what?! “Hi, we’re ChatGPT. Everyone knows we exist.”

Google did this last year too. I bet you had already heard of them too.

And you know Microsoft’s involved. Of course, they are. Microsoft is like that friend who always wants to split the bill evenly, even though they only had a salad. “We own part of OpenAI!”

And this is all happening at the Super Bowl! The most expensive, most ridiculous place to advertise anything. The game where we pretend every commercial is the greatest thing we’ve ever seen. “Oh my God, did you see the one with the puppies and the AI chatbot?”

So now, OpenAI is spending all this money, hiring a marketing officer, raising billions of dollars—what’s next? ChatGPT can probably replace Elon and his DOGE gang; optimizing America.

So, what’s the deal with these Super Bowl ads? You got Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, and Kris Jenner—two Chrises and a Kris—teaming up for Meta’s big commercial. They’re promoting these Ray-Ban Meta glasses, right?

The glasses have A.I built-in and can describe in limited detail what you’re looking at. Think Google Glass with less of a surgeon look. We got our kid a pair for his birthday. They have a source for popping prescription lenses into the frames. More convenient than Airpods with similar functionality. Camera is great for photo and video. I believe you can live stream as well.

In one of the spots, Hemsworth and Pratt are in an art gallery, trying to look all sophisticated. Next thing you know, they’re eating the infamous $6 million banana that must be a couple of months old. Who knew fruit could be worth more than a penthouse? And, of course, it’s owned by Kris Jenner. Because if anyone’s got a pricey banana lying around, it’s gotta be a Kardashian.

Hemsworth says they had a blast filming this, poking fun at themselves. He even admits they were “trying to look sophisticated and failing miserably.” Sounds like a typical day at the museum for these guys.
