The fast-food giant chain has introduced its first [AI-generated ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-moment-of-me-time) which is bright and quirky with a catchy look -- it showcases its iconic French fries at the forefront. The campaign is created with AI artist Kaku Drop and the [Luma Labs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luma-agents) tool. The video highlights some women that are generated by the technology posing with the fries. It takes place in a busy Mcdonald's style cover of the classic musical known as Carmen. The commercial is 16 seconds long and it was rolled out last month to encourage fans to take advantage of the limited 250-yen offer on fries.
