It seems clear they just wanted to be the first in NZ to create an AI ad and then use that as part of their marketing strategy to get more views.

I can't wait until the microtargeting that big tech does to manipulate people extends to high quality AI generated TV shows that are generated for each person in order to manipulate your political views.

Well...there is a fix for this issue.

Don't watch broadcast TV; use ad-blockers; learn to sail.

Alternative headline: “Is NZ ready for low quality low effort everything?”

And I’d probably answer “yes, that is our every day”
