I was reading an article on MSN yesterday, and came across this ad for the new Chevy pick-ups.......


Stewart: if this needs to be moved, feel free!!!!

 

That reminds me of something I was dealing with lately. I was boat shopping (used), and I would occasionally see an ad with a picture of a boat at the dock from a distance - and nothing closer or inside the boat. Anybody can just take a picture of anything, then say whatever they want in the copy to lure a prospective shopper. I never respond in any way to such ads - not even a click out of curiosity.

Good catch.

 

That's the best looking chevy truck I've ever seen

 

was just gonna say that. LMFAO

 

Yes it is funny especially when looking at it from the perspective that the harder people work to make computing systems smarter, the more it highlights the limitations

That is the downside of today's internet-of-things. That 'topic' was likely generated by a corporate system and it used tagged photos to pick one for the topic rather than a person actually take about 60 seconds to find one. In addition to that probable tagging miss-match, there are a growing list of systems that generate complete 'news' articles from algorithm which is arguably just as misleading as 'fake-news'.

 

WOW. I got me a new Chebby and didn't know it!
