McDonald's folks, tell me if this commercial will make you or your kids go to McDonald's for a happy meal or a Big Mac.

McDonald's thought it was a good idea to make an AI generated Christmas ad, but they got so much backlash that the marketing team is like, guys, take that down.

This isn't good.

Watch this for yourself and tell us if you like it or not.

Go ahead, Rob.

It's the most terrible time of the year.

All the shots turn to mayhem, even saturned no space, and the tree we decorated your place.

It's the most terrible time of the year.

The roast turned to charcoal.

And the cookies burned too.

Fricking chaos, it feels like a zoo it's the most terror time of the year so you

believe from the madness the lights and the cheer and hide out in McDonald's till January's here

Or do they not like it because of the message?

I, you know, worse time.

Yeah, so they're mad about the Christmas being a terrible time, not about it being AI. This is Christmas. This commercial was produced for McDonald's in Netherlands, just so you know. Not Compton, Netherlands, but we have decided to remove our AI generated Christmas adverts, spokesperson said,

it was intended to reflect the stress moments that can occur during the holidays in the Netherlands,

but we recognize that for many of our guests, the season is the most wonderful time of the year.

We respect that and remain committed to creating experiences that offer good times and good food for everyone,

this moment serves as an important learning as we explore the effective use of AI.

Imagine Elon saying something and people having backlash and him taking it down and saying,
