This ad is on purpose, to make us believe that using AI like this is the most normal thing. It's kind of brainwashing. So they can sell it to us.

The thing is, LLMs can be used for something like this, but just like if you asked a stranger to write a letter for your loved one and only gave them the vaguest amount of information about them or yourself you're going to end up with a really generic letter.
...but to give me amount of info and detail you would need to provide it with, you would probably end up already writing 3/4 of the letter yourself which defeats the purpose of being able to completely ignore and write off those you care about!
When i saw this ad a few days ago, my immediate, audible, response was " I guess we don't need humans anymore. "
I think AI has already taken over and it's putting out the ads.
God I hope that all of these bullshit AI platforms tank these giant awful tech companies.
It would've been cooler if they used it to write a cool PDF page of info and stats on Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone
Or finding/buying plane tickets at the best price by searching all the sites
But that would imply that it can be relied upon for accuracy.
Okay, but what if I can't put my feelings into words? If even LLMs have a better grip on human emotion than me?
Edit: Well, then I wouldn't have a daughter in the first place; and I don't. Yay?
LLMs have no 'grip' on human emotions. That's part of the whole criticism with this.
Finding the words to express one's self is an incredibly important life skill to learn. And it's just that, a skill. It needs to be practiced in order for people to get better at it.

Idk, I mean I think this is more honest and practical LLM advertising than what we've seen before
I like to say AI is good at what I'm bad at. I'm bad at writing emails, putting my emotions out there (unless I'm sleep deprived up to the point I'm past self consciousness), and advocating for my work. LLMs do what takes me hours in a few seconds, even running locally on my modest hardware.
AI will not replace workers without significant qualitative advancements... It can sure as hell smooth the edges in my own life

I think AI is great, but not for this. It's much better suited for, say, stuff like AI dungeon, or other entertainment (DougDoug on twitch/YouTube is the perfect example).

Now we need the machine to write a handwritten letter, and sign it. To complete the effect of genuine human connection
