Google's Gemini AI Olympics-themed ad sparks fierce backlash

Google's Olympics-themed advertisement for its Gemini AI product, called "Dear Sydney," isn't exactly winning over viewers. 

The ad features a young female runner whose father narrates the commercial. She wants to write a letter to her hero, American track and field star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, so her dad enlists Gemini AI to help.

"She wants to show Sydney some love and I'm pretty good with words, but this has to be just right," the girl's father says.
