ESPN Should Be Ashamed

[00:04] weeks ago, maybe maybe longer, maybe even like a month ago. After stream, I got a late night lift in. And then I went to a Miller's Ale House for some late night nutrients, a little a little snack there to give the

[00:20] that way I don't go catabolic while I'm sleeping and sacrifice the gains or anything. So, I pull up to this Miller, I sit at the bar, I place an order, and pretty soon after, I see a full-blown AI

[00:35] generated commercial on the television. And at first, I thought, "No, it can't be. There's no way. Not on a network like ESPN. I Fiddlesticks. I must be wrong. It It must just be cartoonishly odd, cell-shaded looking human beings,

[00:51] real actors." But then it was just painfully blatantly obvious AI. And I'm talking like trash AI like that's really easy to figure out is phony baloney. Like I'm talking Will Smith eating a plate of spaghetti circa

[01:06] 2023 type Like it wasn't even, you know, the really deceptive ones that are companies and corporations spamming that garbage. So then I thought, okay, well, well, maybe I got such a big lift in that all of the blood rushed out of my

[01:21] head into my back and now I'm hallucinating. I got bent over row psychosis right now cuz I just couldn't believe that ESPN, a major network, would be playing AI generated commercials. And it was late. It was

[01:35] like 1:00 a.m. maybe. So maybe it's like back in the day how Comedy Central after like 3:00 a.m. would play Girls Gone Wild. Maybe this is what ESPN does at 1:00 a.m. onward. They just start playing AI generated slop. Just AI slop

[01:49] out the wazoo with their brand partners. I took a few pictures here just to crazy. And I thought for a second maybe it'd come out like Sasquatch photos all blurry or something, but no, it's pretty clear as day. That's just fully AI right

[02:03] there. That lady looks like she's straight out of Borderlands 3. And then every single scene in the commercial is just like that. It is a fully AI generated commercial advertising Sealis and Viagra. And

[02:19] throughout my time at the Miller's Ale House there, it came on twice. Also, ESPN seems to be a network in shambles. Like I I got mainly served commercials. I the commercials were the bulk of the programming. the occasional

[02:35] sports highlights were was like a like an a brief interruption, like a a quick fever dream. I I cannot believe anyone watches ESPN if it's in that state something they do at night where it's just a flood of as many ads as they can

[02:50] possibly get away with to just infinitely try and farm at the the late night hours here hoping that no one's going to put up a stink about it. I don't know. But I was miserable trying to watch ESPN there cuz it is just

[03:05] predominantly advertising. And they shamelessly have a full-blown AI generated ad that they played twice across my like 30 minutes that I spent in there. And so when I got home, I wanted to look it up just to see like is

[03:19] anyone talking about this? Like what's what's going on? Because this is the first instance I've seen of it just in the wild on a major network. And I couldn't find anything. I did however find instances of ESPN getting into a

[03:31] bit of hot water for using AI generated graphics like portraits or just images throughout programming, but never any documented cases of a full-blown AI

[03:43] generated commercial and I see no buzz about it. I didn't see anyone talking about it. I didn't see anyone talking about it anywhere. So, I kept trying to peruse looking at like Seialis AI generated commercials, stuff like that

[03:56] the the company that was doing this. And like find little breadcrumbs, little morsels until like 25 minutes ago, I just had this Eureka moment. Why don't I just call the number on screen? So, I

[04:11] gave them a ring. I got them on the horn. Instantly greeted with, "Hey, thanks for calling better blue pill. What's your name? Checkmate. So, I hung up instantly. So, it's Better Blue Pill. And when looking

[04:26] up Better Blue Pill, I am introduced to something called 52 Pills. And 52 Pills has an AI generated campaign called Tired of Overpaying. And this is the exact commercial that is on ESPN except the number is different. So, the number

[04:41] I called is different than the one that's on this for some reason. Maybe it's like different numbers for different states potentially. Not really sure. But this is the one. Here's the ESPN approved advertisement.

[04:55] Guys, are you ready to take charge and get back in the game? Tired of overpaying for those blue or yellow pills like Viagra or Seialis. Stop throwing your hard-earned money away on overpriced brands. For just $99, you get

[05:09] 55 powerful blue or yellow pills, plus five free. I want to come in here like a jump scare real quick. So, you get 55 pills plus five free. Why are you called 52 pills? I like I don't see where that comes from because 52 is not even like

[05:24] the number anywhere in the advertisement here. I wonder what that's in reference to. Probably just an AI generated name as well. 52 Pills also is a really interesting looking company from the little bit of super soothing I did on

[05:38] them. Very peculiar stuff going on here. such an odd rabbit hole that I haven't even really begun to dug to dig deep into. I've only scratched the surface mystery here. >> That's right, 60 pills for less than two

[05:52] bucks each. Our best deal ever. These pills deliver the same boost, the same confidence at a fraction of the cost. Feel energized, unstoppable, and ready for life's best moments. Why pay more when you can save big and still get top

[06:24] Order today and reclaim your confidence. >> To order, call 1800 616. >> Something interesting and what made this so hard is that the name of this company is nowhere in the advertisement. They name dropped Viagra and Seialis, which

[06:37] made me think it was like a Viagra Sealis vendor or something, but the company here 52 Pills is nowhere in the promotion at all, which is odd that they're trying to hide that. So you are calling from you are calling to random

[06:51] headquarters somewhere on the planet undisclosed location off the grid Area 51 here for Viagra or Seialis and ordering 50 blue or yellow Seialis and ordering 50 blue or yellow pills just you're ordering the color

[07:06] pill or yellow. I imagine it corresponds blue for Viagra, yellow for Seialis. So they're just calling it that. That's the generic that they're going for here. How can you trust that? The company doesn't even feel confident enough to put their

[07:20] own name on this garbage. I feel like you got to be off your gourd to order blue or yellow pills from this mystery company with a really sketchy AI commercial airing at odd hours on ESPN. And that's just gambling with your life

[07:33] right there for basically no gain. Your might just fall off or explode like a pipe bomb in your pants. Like it's it's so weird, man. Like I would sooner it's so weird, man. Like I would sooner trust Narnia fart peptides than

[07:48] trust Narnia fart peptides than I would random blue or yellow pills from I would random blue or yellow pills from Mystery Company. It's so weird. And ESPN is broadcasting this. They played it twice in only the 30 minutes I spent at

[08:00] the Miller's Ale House at like 1:00 a.m. is looking grim. We are now seeing fully AI generated commercials for companies that are trying to hide themselves in their own advertising being broadcast on a major network like

[08:14] ESPN. And I'm going to be honest, I don't think 1 a.m. is really like the craziest graveyard shift that no one's going to see. I think people will absolutely see that. And if anything, it just shows the direction we're going

[08:27] where they're not afraid to at least get their tootsies wet. They're dipping their toes in the pool here of just AI commercials for what could be a very shady company from what I'm seeing or really not seeing from 52 pills on ESPN,

[08:43] mind you. So like I think it's only going to continue to get worse as more going to continue to get worse as more and more companies rely on a a AI generated commercials now to save money and it looks like networks are at least

[08:56] somewhat okay putting them out there, blasting them out. Grim. That's grim. super sucks. But anyway, I wanted to yap about it a little bit because I finally found this commercial. I have proof that

[09:09] found this commercial. I have proof that it's real and on and was on ESPN twice. it's real and on and was on ESPN twice. So yeah, that's really about it. Yeah.
