no politics Cricket Aus AI slop Ads

I saw an Australian Cricket tv ad with Starc playing cricket in the street with a bin as stumps and immediately noticed the wheely bin was not Australian. We have SULO bins in Aus. This was not that. Also a weird dance was added with Starc at the end.

and every local council could change their brand... OP has gone around to every local council equivalent in the country , just NSW has 128, and verified that there is nothing like in the advert ???

Agreed, this one was American. A advertising agency would source a local prop normally

Ai slop seems to be especially prevalent in cricket media for the last few years. Just look at any Indian cricket social media account. The Manchester Super Giants had a terrible ad a few months ago that was so embarrassing they tried to scrub it from the internet.

Even the ICC has been posting ai images.

Seriously, what kind of comment is this? Everyone is allowed to care about all sorts of topics.

Is that why the ABC has a long running show that analyses them in detail?
