Google's ad "Dear Sydney," created for the Paris 2024 Olympics, offered a solution for a father helping his grade-school track-and-field athlete write a fan letter to Olympic 400-meter-hurdle world-record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, using Google’s AI model, Gemini. However, the message 'You got this, with a little help from Gemini,' sparked controversy, with concerns raised about promoting the use of Artificial Intelligence to replace human interaction and connection amid broader conversations about using artificial intelligence in everyday life. As a result of the backlash, comments for the ad were disabled on YouTube, and Google decided to pull it just a week into the Olympics.
