Big Tech faces a challenge in advertising their innovative products to a fearful audience. OpenAI unveils ChatGPT’s latest update, GPT-4o, capable of conversing through text, audio, and video. Google introduces a “universal agent” and new conversational AI features. Apple’s ad for the iPad Pro, Crush!, triggers mixed reactions and is eventually pulled off TV.

Even tech enthusiasts express anxiety over rapid technological advancements. OpenAI’s scary yet impressive innovations have people fearing a bleak future dominated by AI. Apple’s Crush! ad, reminiscent of their iconic 1984 commercial, showcases the thinnest iPad ever. LG had a similar hydraulic press ad in 2015.

Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, envisions a future with AI making everything cheaper and better. Altman believes AI will revolutionize everyday life, reducing costs and improving performance significantly. He advocates for equitable access to resources, universal basic income, and taxation reforms to ensure everyone benefits from AI advancements. New jobs will emerge with AI replacing some roles.
