   Sincerely wanting your opinions about this persistent ad I am seeing on a news site. Mine are:
   1. Isn’t this a rather unpleasant portrait?
   2. The red bag doesn’t look more appealing in this ad.
   3. What is the purpose of using an androgynous model?
   4. Who is this ad targeted to?
   5. Is the view outside supposed to look like a view of a planet off in space?
   6. Doesn’t this image look sad and lonely?

   As you can tell, I’m mystified here.

     @qurlyjoe @cobalt @boby_biq "Thanks to the advent of AI-powered image generators like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, some are now fabricating entire feeds of internet personalities that don't actually exist."

     "The result is a fascinating journey through the uncanny valley: haunting Twitter and Instagram feeds showing these AI-generated influencers — virtually all taking the form of conventionally attracted women — posing and preening in virtual thirst traps, to the delight of sometimes tens of thousands of seemingly human fans."

     @cobalt @qurlyjoe They teamed up with Adobe and they also did a perfume campaign with some AI- plus an “AI influencer”

     And yeah, you’re not wrong, the image is strange.

     So edgy. Hose, slip and a red bag. But is it guy or a girl? And are they in orbit in a backwoods shed? So very edgy.

     Also, I'm convinced that over the lat 20 years, marketing/advertising has been taken over by Ivy League nepotism/cronyism hires who are out of touch, have no actual creativity and have absolutely no idea that marketing was once a science.
