Google released a commercial that imagines the Founding Fathers drafting the Declaration of Independence using Google Workspace. Titled 'Group project, but make it 1776', the ad shows a fictional Thomas Jefferson receiving a text from Ben Franklin, then editing the document in Google Docs, scheduling a meeting in Google Calendar and holding it via Google Meet with participants keeping cameras off, and finalizing the text with e‑signatures and fireworks. The founders also use Google's 'help me visualize' tool to experiment with animal designs for the national seal, ask Gemini to take meeting notes, and consult a chatbot before declining a document-access request from King George III. The ad includes a tongue-in-cheek line from Sam Adams asking if the dispute can be settled over beers. Viewers on YouTube and Instagram expressed generally positive reactions, while Bluesky users described the ad as cringey and tone-deaf; historian Angus Johnston noted that little of the content actually relied on AI. The commercial does not suggest that AI would improve the historical text.
