I think it was the Royal Bank, one of the banks reported last week that they don't expect 10% of Canadians to be able to be in a position to renew their mortgages.
So there's some real information there.
But we don't know the difference between what's real and what's not real in that ad.
And I think at a minimum, at a minimum, it should be very explicit that auto-generated images were used in the making of this ad.
It's grim.
And I think that the situation of Canadians reflects some of the grimness in the ads.
But I have to say it was an unsettling thing to watch, knowing that a lot of what we were seeing was synthetic media, auto-generated media.
And it compels us to ask what's real and what's not real in that ad.
I'll see it.
I don't think we're going to see it for a number of reasons.
Number one, actors have been portraying voters in ads for a long, long time.
Sure.
So that's not new.
But usually they would say actor portrayal or something on there.
In very small script, if at all.
What I'm more concerned about is, like, I looked at some of the AI ads used in the Texas Senate race, and it had Corbyn, the incumbent Republican who was ultimately unseated by a MAGA-backed, a Trump-backed,
Republican candidate for Senate there looking quite ridiculous and realistically in a hula skirt or sitting in the middle of a pool with a with a with a drink while people were suffering.
It's the inability and it is going to it's already very difficult to tell the difference between reality and deep fakes.
It's the inability to discern between the two.
The problem with negative advertising remains the same.
