Absolutely nobody is going to see these ads and to "Ah, well, now that I have seen this ad I will start lying".

That person is already lying about stuff. We've all done it.

I think the real indictment against Apple (and AI more broadly) is that this is the best use case for their supposedly revolutionary technology that they could come up with.

I don't want to interact with people who lie. I don't want to interact with people who say lying is a good thing. Apple is saying lying is a good thing ("genius") in some of these ads.

I don’t think anyone is claiming these ads will get people to start lying. The claim is that lying to your loved ones is good and makes you smart is indeed the message these ads are sending.

People do lie. But they don’t usually feel good about it. These ads send the message that not only is that good, but Apple Intelligence will make you even better at lying.

It’s just a bad message.
