I’m speculating based on what companies have been saying recently such as the 2025 Coca-Cola Christmas ad where they uploaded a “behind the scenes” to attempt to show the human aspect.
If you watch that and take it at face value then maybe I’m just the cynical asshole here but I’m not alone.
Edit: and yes, I’m speculating, but so is everyone else talking about this too.
Also, this isn’t about me, and I don’t need to divulge my background to you.
I still don’t like it. The models being built on non-consensually scraped artwork has been known from the very start. If they still thought these were ok to use, I don’t really want to get involved with their output…
It’s the same as when any other company quickly replaces the genAI art when busted, “oops we didn’t mean to include it” - then maybe don’t use it in the first place?
Used for background assets. It was promptly removed through a patch. It’s not as egregious as it sounds.
Human workers could’ve made background assets.
FUCK AI
It didnt replace anyone. The workers used AI 🤦♂️
An equal amount that would have worked on it otherwise? Even so do you think that will continue to be true?
You’re quite literally speculating and probably have no tech background

Human workers did make those assets. Using AI. As placeholders.
Maybe stop the rate hating for a moment to understand the situation before you comment absolute shite?
Correction: the robot made them, and human workers who were paid to watch it like a microwave used them.
