Tech Roundup: McDonald's AI Holiday Flop, Google’s Military AI, and Cashew's Market Research Revolution
Hold on tight, tech enthusiasts! In this episode, Captain Overfit takes you on a no-nonsense journey through the unpredictable skies of technology. We’ll dissect McDonald’s AI-generated holiday ad disaster, explore Google’s military AI platform, and introduce the innovative startup Cashew Research that’s shaking up market research.
McDonald's AI Holiday Flop
First, we dive into the hilariously misguided McDonald's holiday ad that flopped harder than a lead balloon. Instead of spreading cheer, it suggested hiding out in a McDonald’s. This marketing misfire raises a critical question: can AI truly capture the nuances of human emotion during the holidays?
Google’s Military AI
Next, we soar into the military realm with Google’s new AI platform for the Department of Defense, GenAI.mil. While it aims to enhance efficiency, it also prompts us to consider how much control tech companies should wield over military applications.
Cashew Research's Disruption
Finally, we glide to Calgary, where Cashew Research is redefining the ninety billion dollar market research industry. Their AI-driven approach allows brands to gather insights faster and more effectively. If they deliver on their promises, they could revolutionize the field. Check it out here.
So, strap in as we navigate through these turbulent tech skies and remember, technology is a powerful tool—we must steer it wisely!
