My wife and I saw this ad in the theatres before the movie and just looked at each other like, "what the fuck?".

Even making it from the daughter's perspective would have made it so much better. AI is helpful for writing to get some ideas, but why is it so hard for companies to understand people want human interaction in their projects... Who was that ad even for?

As a final note, the "just like you" felt so weird and made me uncomfortable; it took the daughter's voice away basically.
