But... wy?

Ironic

But Brazilians are a small minority. For every 7 gays, bis, and transgenders, there's only 1 Brazilian.

What about the 4th one?

Any major combat movement is going to make her bits show.

Hence distracting the villains and gaining tactical advantage!

ITT: I'm smarter than billion dollar marketing departments!

How are they going to flee now? Bicycle sales are going to spike!

I've heard some people use it as food.

LLMs are cutting edge tech, quickly changing, sold at a loss, and despite what everyone on lemmy likes to think, pretty useful. And most companies are either waiting or just testing the waters (if you look past the headline of Microsoft, oracle, Nvidia and openai passing 100B dollar in a circle).

Marketing has been around for centuries.

I would be very shocked, there have been studies on the effectiveness in general and every campaign needs to show ROI, in particular.

C suite types would love to cut all the marketing budget to give themselves a fatter bonus, they know it can't be done without sales plummeting.

If they are they best price/performance, why not? Are you willing to pay hundreds to avoid advertised products? Maybe invest that into avoiding advertising...

Being vilified for "annoying ads" doesn't tell me anything negative about the product or the company, just that someone on the internet whines about a minor inconvenience. And if I needed something similar I would check them out.

So you don't have a Casio and you do still watch YouTube. Your point is than in a hypothetical parallel universe you would buy a Casio but as of this reality, nah?

I use a metal, glass lined, vacuum insulated cup. Awesome, doesn't sweat, is reusable and recyclable. I've used it for about 8 years now, the 25 euros have been well spent.

Howard and Bernadette in big bang theory. Or Leonard and Penny.

What about apple pie?

There's a theory? Like someone though about it in the shower or "studies have proven this to X% for y and z product categories?

Because if it was the case, billions of dollars could be made/saved. People in marketing might be evil, but they are not stupid, all ads are data driven.
