That ANNOYING "AI" commercial!

[phillymatt53]

This commercial and it's company has already been labeled as a typical scam commercial.
By many online critic sites in fact.
It's designed to instill FEAR into viewers, as does just about every commercial out there.
By creating FEAR in people, gullible people, it increases the commercial's power, success, to convince you to purchase the product.
You've heard about "Subliminal Messages" - this one's surely got them.
AND.....
If you carefully notice the "woman", her voice, the background, it reaks of AI generated BS.
She's not real, however quite convincing to the average person, but sorry, she's an AI robot.
Enjoy the 60 second BS commercial.

I've spotted a couple more of those A.I. animated commercials lately.
We're being flooded with that crap and it's only going to get worse.

This is why when I'm into a TV program or movie, once the commercials come on, I HIT THAT MUTE BUTTON!

That's also what the 30 second skip is for. I have one button programmed for 5 skips and one for 4 skips, covers 95% of commercials. Channels DVR will also auto skip commercials,great little program. BTW, to keep my sanity 98% of my viewing is DVR'd.

Unfortunatly, I have OTA tv service, but the Mute button is my trusty friend.

Channels works great with OTA, just need an external tuner and some sort of computer.

I quit watching network TV years ago, we get by on YouTube, Prime and Netflix... I originally did this because at my age, after the 8-9 commercials in a given break, I've forgotten what the hell I was even watching. Unfortunately, YouTube is drifting toward more ads as time goes on, though they're still at an average of 3, and you get a timer and usually the option of skipping after a point. I do get a kick out of their little "fewer ads for this long video" when the ad break is nearly a full minute, and you're watching some idiot yammer about how he does his oil changes... Amazon isn't really "free" (after paying for prime), all the good stuff is paid subscription or buy the program/series. And I BOUGHT a couple seasons of Top Gear, only to get a message that I can't view because their license ran out. Tough crap, I bought it! Still beats painfully predictable sitcoms with canned laughter...
