Description: Microsoft ad with a man on the right doing a hand sign associated with star trek and wearing a white t-shirt and black glasses with thick borders. On the left the text reads white on black " Resistance is futile - get AI-ready with Azure" Blue button says “learn more”.
i’m no marketing expert but comparing your product to the fictional all consuming hivemind hellbent on absorbing all life into itself does not sound smart
Who’s Al? Is that Al?
Is this a terrible ad?
The “hand sign associated with StarTrek” is called the Vulcan salute 🖖.
And the phrase “Resistance is futile” is also regularly used on the show, repeatedly uttered by the Borg on every encounter, preceded by “You will be assimilated”.Some unsolicited trivia for you.
I actually knew that, and knowing the source (some evil guys in this case) makes it even funnier.
