Summary
“Group project, but make it 1776.” That’s how a new commercial for Google Workspace opens. Ben Franklin texts Thomas Jefferson to check on the status of a draft, who takes a photo and uses AI to transcribe it into a Google Doc. The last thing before the fireworks go off, the founding fathers ask Gemini for its advice on whether to give King George III edit access to the Declaration of Independence. The whole thing is ill-advised, corny, and plain dumb.
