They are destroying everything analog used by humans for fun and creativity, including a piano, a trumpet, paint, an arcade machine, synthesizers, and toys. In return we have one soulless bland iPad. If you have any object remotely similar to the ones depicted as destroyed, you will feel anger and pain at the sight of destruction.
Crushing the tools of art and fun into a tiny technological device is maybe a little tone-deaf in the context of AI trying to crush all scrapeable human creation into a model that would fit on that same iPad.
> People have just become overly sensitive it seems.
I hear this said a lot, but know of no psychological evidence that
people have actually become more "sensitive" (by which I mean
neurotic, defensive etc).
What's happened is that people became better informed, educated, and
communicative. They're more comfortable with expressing. And that's
mainly down to technology which facilitated cultural change.
It is natural for that to turn inward. This is the evolution of
critique. It took many years from Gutenberg to Vanity Fair. Literary
criticism only emerged once the medium itself was mature.
The same thing is happening in technology as Lewis Mumford predicted.
Technological critique. has come of age with AI.
Anybody so unsophisticated as to ignore that, like Apple, is doomed.
No one gives a shit how "thin" or "powerful" your gadget is. They care
what it means to them and their values. Apple, of all organisations,
should be mindful of that.
Would you prefer a world wherein people aren't allowed to speak their mind instead?
Stop being so sensitive about people "being sensitive" and engage in the discussion instead of dismissing it.
All this complaining about "cancel culture" is just complaining that other people are using their freedom of speech in a way that you don't like. This is what freedom is speech means - disagreement. Stop whining about people disagreeing with you.
Either address the arguments they're making to further the conversation, or deal with it.
No one's like crying out here or jumping off a bridge. People are just kinda ticked, or disappointed. There's no "cancel culture" happening here. Why such a reactionary interpretation of the ad's poor reception? o_O
