What's with this AI slop?

I don't think companies understand how harmful this type of shit really is, to their own business.

The fact that this business is too lazy to even bother trying to make a simple, easy advertisement with actual people in their store and chose to exclusively use AI to make it, says a lot about their business. It is also very badly done, it really looks terrible.

That alone does much to dissuade me from doing business with them anymore. Which kinda sucks because I liked buying ammo from them but this AI slop combined with the credit card stuff is enough to permanently turn me away. I'll buy my ammo from somewhere else I guess.

On CGN they claimed that this is a placeholder and they hired 2 photographers/social media personnel.

That's a pretty poor job if you ask me...

Why even post it then? Like, they already announced the range, why have a "placeholder" for a legit video?

Obviously it isn't a placeholder and this is just damage control after the lashback, but man come on lol.

I know right. Look at their CGN thread, their responses are kinda pathetic.

It's not a placeholder, it's front and centre on their twitter....

Sure, but millennials and zoomers also just don't have money.

I'm GenX with a liberal arts degree and I fucking hate what AI is already doing to jobs in graphic design and writing. So fuck your generalizations.

Whoa there, no lumping Gen X in with boomers!

Nah they're pretty similar honestly. At least when it comes to AI

They think you can't tell the difference, because they can't.
