  • The gist of Liveline

    Joe is complaining about TFI putting up the taxi fares in Dublin.

    The ad is for a TFI competition.

    CiarƔn works in advertising and thought that the TFI ad must be a scam first because of the use of AI.

    CiarƔn points out that TFI has plenty of money and could afford to pay a graphic designer or an illustrator.

    Joe is furious that TFI wonā€™t say whether the ad was AI-generated or not. CiarĆ”n points out that they didnā€™t even mark the image as AI-generated.

    Gerry Oā€™Brien from Actors Equity is on the line. Heā€™s explaining the issues faced by background actors and voiceover actors who are being pressured into signing over their image/voice rights

    Hannah Lockhead from Lucan is on the line. ā€œI donā€™t disagree with what anyone is saying, but personally I think the most offensive thing about this ad is just that itā€™s uglyā€.

    Gerry Oā€™Brien is talking about fair compensation and clear consent for actors whose images are being used.

    Hannah says that ā€œFrankensteinā€™s Wife is Margot Robbieā€

    CiarĆ”n says that the AI art is ā€œquite tackyā€ and compares poorly with the iconic London Underground logo.

    Joe Duffy has seized the opportunity of having Gerry Oā€™Brien on the line to complain that the Abbey Theatre has been closed for a year.

    Joe Duffy has asked Hannah Lockhead (who is an actress) ā€œare you working Hannah or are you restingā€. Sheā€™s just finished filming a horror film in Wales called Esoteric.

    Thatā€™s pretty much it.

    TFI have now apologised.
