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.
Yeah, an AI would have drawn it better (apart from the text, they suck at that).
Also not a fan of comics that just state an opinion without any punch line or twist.
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.”

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.
I think images on https://join-lemmy.org/ is AI generated too? Or Is it stock images? Sorry, If I am wrong.
This isn’t AI, but I have discovered now that I am back in the job market that companies are realizing that “they watch any shit on YouTube, we don’t need people who know how to shoot and edit video. Carstairs, you have an iPhone. Go download some free software and shoot the commercial” doesn’t work very well when it comes to advertising.
So I think there might be hope for visual artists as well.
Usually I go:
“Hmm advertisement. Must not be a good enough product to sell itself.”
I hate ads too, and I would be happier if they didn’t exist- but I’ve also made a lot of ads and there is no way every business would succeed on just word-of-mouth, especially rural ones. I think for small businesses, advertising is an evil necessity.
Just don’t be an idiot about it.
