Reported execution
Ogilvy says AI.Lab and Memac Ogilvy turned a museum T. rex into an ‘AI-ncient influencer’, using social insights to shape short-form character content.
Our reading
The project treats a museum object as a recurring editorial voice rather than a one-off launch asset. Its creative strength depends on making playfulness lead back to real science and a real visit.
Production and evidence limits
Character rules, scientific checking and disclosure of generation matter when fiction represents a museum. The sources document distribution, not whether audiences retained accurate palaeontology.
