One AI ad from around the Bay, broken down.
Heavy on jargon, light on clarity. "B2B lead generation" and "AI BDR" mean something, but not to most people passing by. Feels more like it's written for insiders than the public.
The Bay Area is in the middle of an unprecedented AI advertising boom. Billboard rental revenue in SF grew 30% between 2023 and 2025. There are 170 billboards along Highway 101 alone. The SF Chronicle catalogued every billboard in the city and found 50% advertise AI products.
Nobody has built the searchable, crowdsourced archive. That's the gap. This is the archive.
Think: museum gallery meets Reddit-bait meets Bay Area cultural commentary. Every billboard that comes down — and they cycle every 2–4 weeks — only exists here. In two years, this becomes a historical document of what 2025–2026 SF looked like.
"Stop Hirring Humans"
Artisan AI's typo-laden billboard in 2024 generated tens of millions of impressions, thousands of death threats, and over $2M in new ARR for the company. The locals noticed.
The gap: Nobody has built a structured, searchable, crowdsourced, mapped, rated, ongoing archive.
