Advertising that you didn't use AI is definitely a thing now. But this is more likely a jab at the recent McDonalds ad, which did use AI, and which the agency who made the ad vigorously defended the use of AI (hilariously, by bragging

Positions higher up the corporate ladder are optimized for people who feel little/no guilt or empathy. I forget the exact statistic, but CEOs are disproportionately sociopaths (compared to the whole population). So, no story required b
