Yes, she is playing herself.
Thank you for clarifying. I don’t use Siri.
That’s a relief it’s only using the Calendar.
I like Appointment schedulers. It’s the AI I was concerned about.
Perhaps it’s not a good thing, but it’s realistic. I’ve been in meetings in which even the meeting organizer lied their way through. Or didn’t even bother to lie, “Why are we meeting?”
I guess The Last of Us has enough viewers to be considered a hit show these days. And she played a minor character on Game of Thrones.
Still, I’d wager that many more people don’t know who she is than do. You’d think Apple could afford a bigger celebrity.
I agree. When I first saw these commercials (I didn’t watch The Last of Us), I thought she was an AI character. Odd affect.
I’m not sure it matters whether you recognize her.
I don’t think its your hearing. When she speaks, all I hear is a garbled mess. What the hell kind of accent is that?
I mentioned earlier, I too thought she was AI. Just something ‘not quite human’ about her in my eye.

She was hired for that look at the end of the commercial, that smug “heh-heh - I was caught forgetting about or unprepared for something important, but my technology makes me look like I am on top of life - heh-heh!” look.
United commercial where a mom just has to get home for her son’s “first graduation”, her son calls and is crying on the phone because she’s going to miss it. So the United agent “finds her a boarding pass, puts in in her hands” (isn’t that their job?) and she makes it! yea!
Now, it isn’t like a graduation is a surprise. She could, you know, plan. ahead.
The kicker? it’s a preschool graduation! I’m sure the kid would have been permanently traumatized. I see years of therapy.
Well, United can’t show them knocking that guy out and dragging him out of his seat and off the plane, can they?
There’s yet another new Limu Emu commercial. I can’t get to the remote fast enough when those come on.
As an eastern Iowan, there’s a congressional race between Mariannette Miller-Meeks, a incumbent Republican, and Christina Bohannan, a Democrat. Most of 3M’s commercials are respectful, but there are some that venture into the “oh, get out of here” territory. Ms. Bohannon wants to allow gender reassignment surgery for preteens, and close all prisons and eliminate police departments? How could anyone believe that?
I’ll save further comments for the “Politics” board.
I have to say I don’t like the commercials, but I think the Emu itself is amusing when it’s in the background doing bird things. Pecking at shiny objects, pulling tissues out of the box one after another.
A Honda SUV with a white beta male sits at a light. A Mazda SUV with a Black dad and daughter pulls up next to him. As the Honda guy appraises the Mazda, he feels his manhood diminish. The light changes and the couple in the Mazda give each other knowing looks, and leave the Honda guy a husk of his former self. The stupid(est) thing about this commercial is that the SUVs are virtually identical. Like the one where an SUV is cruising down a Manhattan street, and people looking down at it from skyscrapers as if it was in any way distinguishable from any other SUV.
hatching volleyballs…
Linky?
I’ve seen that spot every day for weeks, until I look for it for the url. I’ll find it yet.
It’s easy when you’re a puppet.
