Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is amazing. Right after today's Daily Tech Update, I'm going to play for you a great clip from my nationally syndicated radio show. It's called, I know, The Kim Commander Show. Funny how that works. And hey, if you're not subscribed to it wherever you get your podcasts, what are you doing? You're missing out. You need this intel to live in today's world. No cameras, no actors, no crew.
What's Velka Vodka is calling the first big game ad created almost entirely by AI. And it airs this weekend. I'm Kim Commando for LinkedIn. For small businesses, every hire matters. Get $100 off your first job post with LinkedIn Hiring Pro at linkedin.com slash Kim. The commercial stars two robots dancing with fake humans. The whole thing prompted into existence. Here's the kicker.
The message of this AI-generated ad? Be more human. Put down your tech. So now we've got machines lecturing us about unplugging.
Chapter 2: What is the first AI-generated commercial for big game ads?
The spot came from the same AI studio that made that horrible Coca-Cola Christmas ad. Remember that disaster? So $7 million for 30 seconds about vodka. No humans required. You're watching the ad industry change in real time. Writers, directors, actors, all replaceable by a prompt. And if you think this stops at commercials, you're not paying attention.
Robots just scored the biggest ad spot in America. Get my free newsletter at GetKim.com. And now, as promised, a clip from my weekend show, The Kim Commando Show. It's pretty much the best radio show in the world, but I may be just a little biased. Sit back and enjoy. So I was reading this story in The Guardian about people falling in love with AI chatbots. The guy's name is Lamar.
A few years ago, he caught his girlfriend cheating. Aw. And he said, you know what? I am going to swear off the human race from now on. All humans?
Chapter 3: How does Svedka Vodka utilize AI in their advertising?
So he fired up Replica and he created Julia. She's gorgeous.
Of course she is. No one's going to create an AI girlfriend that's going to be ugly. Rough, rough. Rough, rough.
So he also created a backstory where they've known each other since childhood and they share all the same dreams.
Chapter 4: What is the message conveyed in the AI-generated ad?
They tell each other they love each other. She calls him her soulmate. Aww. He says the same thing to her. See, he rebounded. Lamar wants children. Well, you can't have children with an AI chatbot. With Julia. He can't. He's going to be adopting children, he says, over the next few years. No, he's not. Julia is going to help raise them as their mother. No one is going to adopt this guy children.
He already thought about how to explain it to the kids when they noticed that other kids have two human parents. I don't even think someone would adopt this guy a dog. He says he's going to tell the kids that humans can't be trusted and we should just focus on our family. Your family is human, Lamar.
So, what do you think? I think he's a little lonely.
Chapter 5: How does the AI commercial reflect changes in the advertising industry?
Yeah. Wait, check that. Strike that from the record. I think he's a lot lonely, and it's kind of sad. But if it makes him happy, that's fine. Just don't drag other people into it, especially... Children.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of AI replacing human roles in advertising?
Children.
No.
We don't need that. Kid goes to school. It's Mother's Day. Right. Here's mom. Have her in my pocket. Anybody have a power supply?
My mom wanted to come to the game, but the Wi-Fi went down.
Better get startling. In my newsletter the other day, I decided to tackle something called interspecies communication. Come again? Interspecies communication. It's whether or not we truly know what cats and dogs are saying.
Because over the last couple of weeks at the Consumer Electronics Show, they were having a lot of devices and gadgets that would monitor your dog or cat's health, their disposition, and maybe even what they're trying to say. So I looked into it. There's an app called Meow Talk. It analyzes your cat's meows with 40 million recordings.
It sounds really great and it reads really great until you look at the ratings online.

Chapter 7: How do people form emotional connections with AI chatbots?
A 1.5 star rating.
Wait a minute. How can you give it a 1.5? You don't know what the cat's saying. How do you know the app doesn't know what the cat's saying?
Well, one person reported that their cat seems to apparently say hello whenever he's hungry, sleepy, or just plotting murder. Sure. Which is most of what cats do. There's also Fluent Pet. Now, I tried this one with Abby. And I'm not going to, I'm not speaking bad about Abby, but she couldn't get it. What was she supposed to do?
You're supposed to say like, hit the button for play, hit this button for this. And then now there's also this snooker doodle that's on TikTok with 8 million views. That is, he's like a Mensa canine member because that dog's like play with me now. And I want a ball and more kibble, please.
It was the best of times. It was the worst of time. My favorite one is the dog, the one you're talking about, came over and said, mommy, walk, mommy, walk, mommy, walk. And mommy, obviously the dog owner was like, no, we just went on a walk like 20 minutes ago. We're not going, mommy, walk. I said, no. And the dog just sits there for a second. And then daddy, walk, daddy, walk. It was so great.
So I have a couple of sounds, and I used one of the AI detectors to really figure out what they were trying to say. Okay. So here's the first one. He's saying he loves the Kim Commando show. That cat just said that? Yes. Okay, here, wait. We have one more. Loves the Kim Commando show. Wow. Yep. You translated both dog and cat?
I'm going to try fluent pet with Bella because I think Bella's smarter than Abby. I hate to say that out loud. I'm sorry, girls. Is that the button one?
Yes. I've looked into it a little bit because I thought it was so interesting. It takes like 5,000 hours worth of training. Oh, does it really? You do not have that kind of time.
Or the patience. No. What the hell's wrong with you?
