Just as a helpful hint, if you're going to make an ad for your product, don't pick a video that shows it failing spectacularly.
That's what Google did with an ad for it's new Bard AI searchbot. Here's the ad:
The issue is that Bard says, "JWST just took the very first image of a planet outside our own solar system." When in fact, the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope took the first pictures of exoplanets eighteen years before the James Webb Space Telescope was launched.
Lots of Twitter users took immense pleasure in fact checking the ad.
Apparently investors were not impressed either, as the ad triggered a massive sell off of Google shares... to the tune of about $100 billion in market value.
