> The ad inspired dozens of posts on Threads, X, LinkedIn and elsewhere, where many people who watched it were asking: Why would anyone want to replace a child’s creativity and authentic expression with words written by a computer? As noted in the article, it's another example of tech companies being disconnected. Reminds me of Apple's ad that destroyed an iPad (which is beautiful played in reverse). I have a swag T-shirt that has on the front "Living the dream." and on the back "#humanity" and a Honcho (kitchen knife) emoji. The execs thought it was a cute idea, because their mental model/context at the time was about trimming unnecessary aspects of the product to 'delight users'. Needless to say, the employees got as many of these undistributed shirts as they wanted. I keep one around as a reminder of 'tone-deafness'.
