1776, reimagined by Gemini: Google's cringe AI ad about the Founding Fathers

TL;DR Summary
Google’s new Workspace ad imagines the Founding Fathers using Gemini AI to draft the Declaration of Independence, featuring Ben Franklin texting Jefferson to check a draft, AI transcribing notes into a Google Doc, Gemini coordinating a meeting, taking notes during a Google Meet call, and a turkey-seal created by Nano Banana; The Verge calls the campaign ill-advised, corny, and simply dumb, arguing AI isn’t a credible tool for political organizing or historical writing.
