The Olympics: Where Corporate Shills Peddle AI-Fueled Propaganda to the Masses
Get ready to witness the ultimate display of corporate-sponsored propaganda at the upcoming Olympics! Google has teamed up with NBC to bring you a broadcast that’s less about the sports and more about pushing their AI agenda down your throat.
They’ll be using their "Immersive Views" to give you a 3D tour of the venues, complete with tidbits about what events will occur at each location. But let’s be real, this is just a ploy to get you to engage with their AI-powered Maps feature.
And don’t even get me started on the announcers and commentators who will be injecting Google Search AI Overviews into the broadcast. It’s like they’re trying to turn the Olympics into one big advertisement for Google’s AI tools. And if that’s not enough, they’ll also be featuring AI-generated commentary from Al Michaels, because who needs human voices when you have machine learning algorithms?
But wait, it gets even better! Comedian Leslie Jones will be using Gemini to learn a new sport, because what’s an Olympic broadcast without a celebrity endorsement of AI-powered learning? And don’t forget the "social videos and late-night promos" featuring Olympic and Paralympic athletes using Google Lens, Circle to Search, and Google Maps Immersive View to explore Paris. Because what’s more authentic than a bunch of athletes awkwardly using AI-powered features?
And let’s not forget the financial ties between Comcast, NBCUniversal, and Vox Media, the parent company of The Verge. It’s all just one big, incestuous web of corporate interests and AI-fueled propaganda.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the Olympic broadcast – but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you’re bombarded with AI-generated commentary and scripted "social videos" featuring celebrities and athletes alike.
