Product placement
Google: a search engine that people use to find information. It merely APPEARS here as a name in text, and removing it would not change what happens in the video.
ChatGPT: an AI chatbot that people use to generate text, code, and other content. It ACTS here as a tool that people rely on too heavily, and removing it would change the meaning of the video.
