Remember when the whole point of AI was pushed as "helping to turn ideas into reality" by people claiming they were full of ideas but needed AI tools to bring them to fruition.

It turns out the only idea they ever had was pirating the work of actual creatives.

So now they pivot.
Lmfao every AI defense piece is like "AYY I FUCKIN SUCK BRO HOPEFULLY THIS FUCKIN STEAL YOUR SHIT MACHINE WILL MAKE ME SUCK SLIGHTLY LESS OK"

its literally insanity-causing that companies will spend billions of dollars on ai when they can just pay their workers a living wage and theyll come up with ways to make their own work more efficient

You gotta imagine that there’s ten or more kids in the school that have been drawing their own comics that are getting a really rough introduction to how little people value someone with an art career

A good point people are bringing up — if they need to pretend that making this commercial was hard work to avoid getting yelled at, they are also undercutting the propaganda that A.I. will give you a ton more free time. Which fake story are you sticking to. bsky.app/profile/cult...
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

I'm confused.
Is this revenge, or an ill-advised prank?
