Google Gemini AI ‘Dear Sydney’ is a 60-second ad, where a father wants to write a fan letter on behalf of his daughter to her Olympic idol, ‘US track star McLaughlin-Levrone. However, things take a turn when the father asks Gemini to do it instead of helping her daughter write a letter. He insists Gemini tell Sydney how inspiring she is, that his daughter plans to break her record one day and to add a “sorry, not sorry” joke at the end.
Therefore Gemini AI ad has splashed all over the internet, many evaluated the fact on social media that the point of writing a fan letter is completely artificial not a communication of heart-to-heart or human-to-human connections in expressing their intellectual thoughts, and missed that inspiring sense of emotion that relates you with your hero’s work and their impact they had in your life. Meanwhile, others have reacted in the sense that this ad encourages the tasks to be done most easily without the involvement of any self-expression.
Furthermore, Google has leaps forward in explaining the meaning of the ad is not to let Gemini AI completely replace human existence, this ad was meant to show ‘ how Gemini would be capable of providing basic detail for a starting point or a leverage of ideas for creative writing.
Being in controversy, it’s not the first time the tech-led encouragement of Gemini AI has featured in an ad, however, the “Dear Sydney” ad isn’t about AI stealing jobs, moreover, it expands writing to an authentic level that takes out precious expressions to be described that a child will not express firmly, the father’s words leading up to his Gemini prompt were enough.
Google may meant to show that Gemini is great at starting a draft, however, it failed to understand that business emails are one thigh, but personal letters are something else entirely.
