I don't feel bad at all for using AI tools to advertise. I'm competing with hundreds of thousands of other companies doing this, so I am in a losing position either way. The advertising industry as a whole is rotten to the core. It's a symptom of a consumption economy that is in the process of rotting.
People should use ad blockers. People should be using free and open source tools. But they don't. So I don't feel bad taking advantage of that.
So you see something that you know is wrong and instead of trying to make it better you actively make it worse, and say fuck the people who are already suffering?
