That's what makes em so funny.
I had visited a friend of mine from college a couple of years ago.
It was just after those commercials had started.
We were talking about how well they got everything right.

I saw this Farmer's Dog commercial with the song which got me excited for my concert with The Troggs at the end of summer. I can't wait but can wait.
I see this ad when I'm playing games on my phone, but I always have the sound off. I just know it's for deodorant, and neither of these guys appear to be a good endorsement for that.
I call bullshit on this SimpliSafe commercial.
Many people have some sort of outdoor camera on their house, and they're picking up all sorts of shit. Cars going by, dogs in the yard, people taking the garbage out, squirrels, deer, turkey, wind, rustling leaves, you name it. The idea that there are SimpliSafe employees sitting in a room, watching a live feed from a single person's house, and responding in real time, is just a lie.
Unless the company is doing really poorly, they have thousands of customers in a given area, and probably multiple cameras at each house. So when all those camera sensors are tripping because Fido is taking a dump, how is the SimpliSafe guy filtering that out, and somehow looking at a full-screen live view of an intrusion in progress? Inquiring minds want to know.

I think they said the robots were watching and likely feeding offending video to a human when needed based on their commercial.

I don't know what those are. At 0:16 seconds of the video they share they say "Using AI Live Agents". In other words: robots.
It's the precogs from the movie Minority Report. They detect "pre-crime".
What they say is "Using AI alerts, U.S.-based live agents...". The alerts are AI, not the agents.
I was given a free trial of AI alerts for my Ring front-door camera. It told me whether the thing tripping the detector was a dog or person, and it could tell the color of the dog. It once told me I was walking with a dog on a leash, even though there was no leash.
So I guess it uses that to present possible real intrusions to agents, but the whole process would not look like what they're presenting in the commercial.

I never saw "Minority Report".
Yes what they show is after the AI is done it's work although they show the agent watching from the beginning so likely not quite accurate (unless he is actully a robot).
I can see the poor bastard that has to review my front yard footage:
"Oh no, not that lawn mowing fatso with the sweaty ass crack again! The only break-in happening here is more of this stinky asshole break-in' wind..."

AI is here, time to obey our robot overlords!
Can the AI use a voice like Samuel L. Jackson's to say, "Get the fuck off my lawn!"
AT&T in 2013 aired several commercials with improv comic Beck Bennett (full name: Christopher Beck Bennett) asking questions of children. Their answers were spontaneous, not scripted. Here is a compilation. The last commercial features Magic Johnson, Bill Russell, Larry Bird and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar. I think they used to be basketball players. Bennett was a regular on Saturday Night Live from 2013 to 2021.
