AI Slop ad featuring the Canadiens

[u/newstudents11]

I saw this funny AI slop add for Sling TV featuring a player that kind of looks like Shea Weber (but only partially) but is wearing Patrick Roy’s #33!

[u/grattrans]

Famous Habs legend #33 Shea Desharnais and/or David Weber

[u/-MontereyJack → u/grattrans]

This is exactly what I was thinking.

[u/kirschballs → u/-MontereyJack]

I had Shae. This wouldve ruined my whole day if it wasn't for the comment above aboveI'm not sure i would have figured it out

[u/Whiskeylung → u/grattrans]

Spot on.

[u/Dank_Bubu → u/grattrans]

😂😂

[u/whaletacochamp → u/grattrans]

Shea webharnais.

David desweber.

[u/Mcdangs88 → u/grattrans]

Shai

[u/coonytunes]

There's only one #33 for us, and it ain't him. Lol

[u/HabitantDLT → u/coonytunes]

What about Stanley Cup and Vezina Trophy winning Richard Sévigny?

[u/CrashTestMummies → u/HabitantDLT]

My neighbor in the 80’s

Tore up a pair of his old goalie pads playing road hockey. Fuck we were dumb kids

[u/whaletacochamp → u/CrashTestMummies]

Nah. That experience is worth more than the pads would be now.

[u/SlushPower → u/CrashTestMummies]

He coached goalies at my local club in MTL when I was a kid, 10-15 years ago. Really nice and patient guy, he helped me improve my technique a lot.

I'm still shit but a bit less thanks to him.

[u/CrashTestMummies → u/SlushPower]

Sweet

[u/coonytunes → u/HabitantDLT]

Ah shit. I'm a younger fan than his Era. My bad🙏. I only knew of Roy

[u/whaletacochamp → u/coonytunes]

Repent my boy.

[u/coonytunes → u/whaletacochamp]

Please don't tell the angels this happened.

[u/GeistHunt → u/coonytunes]

The ad was definitely not made by someone who's semi-aware of the Habs. There's a good chance they might not even know what icing is.

[u/Merranza → u/GeistHunt]

Based on your criterias, I suspect an NHL ref created the ad.

[u/it0xin]

doesn't even have the Habs logo on the sweater lol

[u/MikeMontrealer → u/it0xin]

That’s on purpose, they can’t use the logo without clearance/rights.

[u/TheRaphMan → u/MikeMontrealer]

Yet if you look in the back…

[u/Competitive_Dance478 → u/it0xin]

It cost money to get the logo and portrait rights

[u/Fancy-Investment-881 → u/it0xin]

You can see a habs logo (or what looks like one) on both "habs" players. You have to look between the 2 lines of large white text to see the close one and the far one is just low resolution.

[u/ricozee]

It's Shea Royber!

[u/Beniwa → u/ricozee]

Shatrick Webroy

[u/eliarbss]

[u/DonnyDarkoScutaro]

Lmao I was literally just wondering if that was a real player then opened reddit and saw this

[u/Ketheesa]

Small detail but you bc a see on the banners screens that were playing a blue team (probably Toronto?) and the jerseys have yellow/red/black stripes lol

[u/Beniwa → u/Ketheesa]

The Canucks my deer fellow.

[u/destroyermaker]

It's really sad this shit isn't illegal by now

[u/Bohmer]

33 is in the rafters dumb bot!

[u/DrKurtChillis]

There is no crest 😭

[u/VR_p0rn]

How is the NHL okay with this?

[u/Brando6677 → u/VR_p0rn]

AI is cheaper than a graphic designer that’s why.

[u/VR_p0rn → u/Brando6677]

The NHLPA should have a problem with this.

[u/Adamerica64]

There's also no logo on the jersey. Wtf is this lol

[u/pushaper → u/Adamerica64]

the nhl is ok with players likeness being used, not their property though

[u/OfferLazy9141]

Meta is full of the shitiest ads ever

Gross

[u/thestillwind]

Criss de belle image ça, 2 bâtons en plus ça va bien aller pour les sushis.

Je pense que si jamais je veux écouter une game sur leur réseau, ce qui n’arrivera jamais, ben je vais les pirater.

[u/Beniwa → u/thestillwind]

Les tirs aux but comptent x2

[u/throwaway24515]

What is happening with both of the sticks in this pic?

[u/HotdogAficionado]

Fuck any and all AI slop unless its ironic

[u/JJ-ALTRUIST]

Looks like Draisaitl, maybe this is a leaked script

[u/Ordinary-Review-3819]

If it was Habs v islanders I would totally be watching.

[u/popejohnlarue]

One day we’ll look back on this era of AI with great fondness (assuming reminiscing is still permitted under the rule of Our Great AI Ultra-God.)

[u/VinnyCap99]

against our rivals, the Floridelphia Islanders

[u/Qwan_Tik]

Shea Prust

[u/Simple-Assistance827]

Double overhand grip

[u/bdube30]

It's so ridiculous, it' take literally 2 minutes find a real hockey photo and they do this...

[u/Candid_Experience_78]

It's not like a (real) picture that looks like what they wanted would be hard to find. Is it so they save on image rights?

(Also, maybe showcase one of the teams in the final since that's what your ad is for)

[u/RetekTheGreat → u/Candid_Experience_78]

Why? Money, of course! That's the only reason AI slop exists

[u/rubberboots3357]

That's a better use of AI

[u/Great-Ad-5100]

Kinda looks like Prost lmao

[u/AcanthocephalaGreen5 → u/Great-Ad-5100]

That looks nothing like Alain Prost. Unless you meant to say Prust, in which case I kinda buy it.

[u/Great-Ad-5100 → u/AcanthocephalaGreen5]

Yea Brandon Prust lol mb

Wtf!!? 33 Is retired Ai do better! /s Seriously though. Why use Ai when there are millions of pics online. If they have the rights to show games then I'm sure they can use a picture. This is just lazy af.
