I saw one on Sora that was ChatGPT vs Grok. And Grok was dressed like a Nazi.
Also AI video generation is getting pretty fucking scary
Apple made one recently. It was over 8 minutes long and dumb AF. It was about the recent thing where a bunch of Windows PCs got the blue screen.
AI generated slop that depicts the other side and their practices and just how bad they are while slightly higher "quality" AI slop tells you about their side being better.
Both of them complaining about “kids” (AKA mobile devices) these days.
This. It would be mac and pc both begging the younger generation to use a laptop or desktop instead of a phone or tablet.
"who would you prefer to spy on you?"
Close up of a cute puppy named PC, "please pick me."
Switch to a little kitten named Mac, "no, pick me."
Zoom out to the full picture, both animals are locked in amazon-branded cages, two greasy thugs watching over them, named Google and Meta: " we don't give a fuck which, but you're going in a cage with one of these two."
Both of them beating up a penguin probably.
I have never known anyone to associate Windows with a high performance Bugatti Veyron car.
People don't choose Windows for speed, they choose it because its well known so it has a favorable learning curve for users to operate, has high compatibility with software & hardware available to consumers, and is generally inexpensive to buy.
Sure, these days people only use Windows because they feel like they're stuck with it. It's a pretty old meme, just not quite as old as the "mac vs. pc" thing.
Oh wait, you said modern.
They would both be all about work because most people don't use computers at home anymore (impress working from home), once they get out of school.
