And if the ads do age well, I probably won't. Not with historic new low-points in basic human integrity.

I think something similar was in the Apple Keynote but it wasn't as nefarious. Basically, your worklife is hell so you forgot your kids play but magic AI cures it by letting you know that it's coming up? I forget exactly what it was but it seems like something a calendar reminder could have solved.
I think all these consumer facing AI tools seem to not address the root of all the problems that connected technology has brought on. It's like being allergic to dairy but instead of abstaining, you just take a lactaid pill and keep eating pizza.
As someone who is lactose intolerant, with a kid with dairy allergy your last sentence is more apt than probably intended. Dairy allergy is different to lactose intolerance and not helped by lactaid at all...
So I read your last sentence as:
"It's like seeing the problem but instead of taking the time to understand and resolve it, you just take some vague voodoo-like mitigation action and keep going through the motions."
Which to me, sums up most people's approach to using AI. Maybe VoodooAI would be a good brand, it's about as far as most people understand it...
