The "wrong"ness is the point.
They’ve taken a story that’s a lesson about technological hubris and turned it into an ad for just such a technology of which people are existentially wary.
It’s being naughty about an ethics lesson; diet caffiene-free non-carbonated trolling.
They brought back actual cast members. If this had been AI, that’d be awful. The “making of” shows the cast having a great time with it, so…
I don’t fully get the hate. It was very well done, and employed original cast.
Im not sure the hate either. I guess i should expect it at this point. Everyone is so cynical about everything its a little to much anymore. I really thought this was one of my favorite commercials this year. I guess i should have been thinking about all the reasons it didnt make sense…
Regardless of whether it was achieved using AI or not, the de-aging is bizarre.

I understand now why it’s strange, why everyone is in the uncanny valley. The actors played their parts now, and they mocapped their 30-years-ago models. Or something like that.
But this CGI doesn’t look as good as I would expect. I don’t know what went wrong.
It’s very much in the uncanny valley. Hard to point my finger at exactly what’s wrong, but no one looks quite real. I keep expecting their too-rubbery skin to start doing weird shit.
It was so creepy! Completely lost the plot, and the whole purpose of the movie too, so hated it for many reasons.
@impynchimpy It was pretty funny.
