I thought it was a great ad, saw it a little earlier and laughed out loud at the cat staring him down.
Got a tip for us?

It's not PC to try to look good and not be morbidly obese. Going to gym and taking care of yourself is racist... or something.
I like the cat, however all this video showed me was how surprisingly bad that ai clean up/removal tool is. This would only be good if the ai could understand what a shadow is and remove all of it along with the cat. I suspect the fabric texture wouldn't be great either if zoomed in on. The fact that the main camera shot (not phone camera pic) when showing the guy's view looking across shows the lighting completely differently on the cat, shadow is minimal and makes sense with the lamp etc and you can see the sofa back is bending a little to the weight of the cat, contrast that to the shot on his phone, there the cat has a massive shadow including on the side the lamp light is hitting, and no sofa distortion. The cat looks comped in from another shot and maybe that weird shadow that looks like a stain added without reference to the video footage. The question is why are they releasing videos like this with such bad examples of the feature?
I was processing a couple of images for my wife the other day in Photoshop. I needed to delete some items from the pictures. Photoshop was doing a poor job. So I loaded them into Photos, eliminated the items, the exported back out to finish what I needed to do in Photoshop. That is the first time I recall Photos editing ever being superior to Photoshop.
It does depend on how you use the feature. Samsung might have a better default. But with a small adjustment to the parameters, Apple gave me a better result than yours. Specifically, it eliminated the pen shadow. The noisy pattern of the book surface was still not quite as nice as the Samsung.

No. The characters in this advertisement were likely chosen to be average looking to increase identity with the audience. Idealized beautiful people work best in ads that are geared towards luxury products. For other products, audience relatability and trustworthiness are more persuasive.
That's still terrible compared to Samsungs. And remember this is a simple image. When its a complex image Apple's software is a disaster.
That too probably, but looking at current state of Disney movies, i'd bet on SJWs anyway.
