      I wonder how much it matters for most people, though. If it’s cheap then people probs still would buy.

      Bold of you to assume this will actually stop anything.

      It’s like the Nigerian prince scam emails with inentionally bad grammar. They don’t want to waste their time with people who don’t fall for obvious scams, so they craft their email so that anyone with half a brain will reject it. And they still get millions of responses.

    As if the average consumer thinks about advertisements to any degree of depth

    Edit: also, the artist forgot to color the front part of the advertisee’s shirt. Ironic.

    especially considering Coca Cola is one of the richest companies on the planet, they could afford literally whatever artist they want, and yet they choose AI slop, because it’s “cheaper.”

      But if marketing manager 03427-B is able to save $5K on human generated art and launch the ad ahead of schedule that might tack another hundred bucks on his bonus next year!

      richest companies on the planet

      What kills me is how fucking awful their choice of slop is, since you’d assume their marketing budget is larger than the GDP of several small countries combined.

      Like if you want to peddle slop, at least peddle good slop, and not something that would have been laughably bad years ago.

    Usually I go:

    “Hmm advertisement. Must not be a good enough product to sell itself.”

    You don’t need AI to generate hack art. Corporate Memphis aesthetic has been around for ages precisely because its cheap, hacky clip-art you can apply to ad copy in order to give it a hint of life without spending much money.

    These AI models make the new art comparatively dirt cheap (if you ignore all the negative external costs) without relying on the even more cheap and bland techniques of the past. It’s absolutely “better” relative to what’s come before.
