Get ready for the AI ad-pocalypse

I'll confess, with no shame whatsoever, that I really love ads. Artsy ones, funny ones, weird ones, emotional ones - TV commercials were my childhood TikTok before any of us were using terms like "short-form video."

There's a lot about Perfect Tides: Station to Station's Mara that I find relatable.
