Transcript of the supplied clip. [unclear] marks indistinct speech.

[00:00] Did you find that AI ad of Chippy funny? That was hilarious, though, wasn't it? Wasn't that brilliant?

[00:04] I found it, yes, fascinating. And if people looked at the ad at the start, they will have seen that it was an AI ad.

[01:18] Ethically, any problems?

[01:19] It's not him.

[01:20] It's a youthful Chippy.

[01:23] No, I don't see any great problems.

[01:25] You can't take something like that seriously.

[01:27] Neither.
