So sick of these fake, AI generated clickbait car ads...

Funny to see AI as the issue, not the ads.

Why are you not blocking the ads?

Need to use Chrome on mobile for some things.

westyvw , 1 month ago

Like what? I don't even have chrome on my phone. If forced to not use the mighty firefox (or Firefox focus) at least use a chrome variant. They have ad block. Or better still, do adblock phone wide.

jordanlund OP , 1 month ago

I enjoy Firefox, but some of the lemmy modding I do requires Chrome to properly read articles. Firefox doesn't have an equivalent for Simplified View.

Can't tell if worse or better...

Yeah I keep seeing videos about new small trucks from Toyota and Subaru. Was disappointed when I realized the info was false.

the only concept I saw from Hyundai was an orange genesis at the NY auto show

AI thinks all cars are the Batmobile.

Reminds me of those YT military thumbnails that typically feature the most idiotic sci-fi art to describe some real world thing.

That looks like a viper

jordanlund OP , 1 month ago

I could see that... Or a Mazda prototype. Definitely not a Palisade.

DarkThoughts , 1 month ago

Very different form. This image above and the Viper have those ridiculously long hoods.

goferking0 , 1 month ago

Yep. But they put a mustang logo on it.

It's the Dodgerolet Corviper.

Is it a scam? How does it work?

jordanlund OP , 1 month ago

As near as I can tell, it's just clickbait. It will pop up at the bottom of legitimate news articles, just clustered with the rest of the clickbait bullshit.

Making the click so you don't have to...

This ad:

Brings me to this bullshit site. Not clicking any of these...

I like how it just jumps into facts about why it's good for seniors. As if to say "you made it this far, you must be a senior we can scam"

jordanlund OP , 1 month ago

Some of the ads actually DO reference seniors. Not that I've ever seen a senior discount on a new car sale...

I should say too, although Hyundai seems to be popping up a lot today, I've seen similar fake Jeep and Toyota ads too.

My mind is blown! So if I have it right, they pay to put up ads to some useless bullshit site on theirs so that they can have copious amounts of additional ads for unsuspecting visitors to view?

I feel like I'm getting something wrong here.

jordanlund OP , 1 month ago

It's true! The links on the bullshit page appear to be affiliate links to the manufacturer.

That's one long nose

jordanlund OP , 1 month ago

Check the spokes on the AI wheels too. Hilarious!

wjrii , 1 month ago

TBF, if it's mid-engine, that snoot probably gives it as much cargo capacity as the Palisade.

SturgiesYrFase , 1 month ago

Jesus...titty...fucking...Christ. that's beyond the pale.

jordanlund OP , 1 month ago

I know, right? The funny bit is, AI can't generate spokes on a car wheel any better than it can human fingers. LOL.

SturgiesYrFase , 1 month ago

Lmfao! Idk how they thought they'd slide that ad past. Fuckin, don't know dicks from dildos about advertising.....

That front wheel!
