gods am i glad microsoft didn't have to dip into their literal trillion dollar valuation to pay independent artists any money at all to advertise the independent developers they're so gleeful to take credit for
It wouldn't be an independent artist it would be a marketing company
Yeah or an artist they already have on salary. This was just less work for someone already working for them.
It doesn't matter if you all don't like ai art. It's not going away and it will only continue to be more prevalent.
You should embrace it. I say this as someone who has a ton of debt from art school still. Resistance is futile.
I'm not defending Microsoft. They're a soulless corporation releasing an ad around a holiday where a lot of people have time off and recently received gift cards and spending cash. I don't think them paying for an artist one time when they hope to use AI for a majority of their throwaway adverts really matters.
This is such a pointlessly smarmy comment.
