Meta's AI optimism ad is scored to a David Bowie song about human extinction
TechCrunch·low signal
Meta released an AI optimism advertisement set to David Bowie's 'Five Years' — a song about humanity learning it has five years left before the apocalypse, per TechCrunch on July 23. Nobody in the approval chain apparently checked the lyrics. Beyond the comedy, it's a data point on how fast AI-era marketing is shipping relative to its review process.
