I thought the ad was fine. I like that people are analysing and discussing things like this though.

@cford without the apology, I probably would not have seen the ad.

@cford It's been a very long time since an Apple ad has made me press the "like button". Whether it's with mother nature, unlimited storage for photos or whatever, it portraits something I don't fall for.

I think in this case, it might resonate with the struggle the creative industry has with the latest AI development. A whole class of workers is feeling robbed, threatened, "crushed?" by the latest GenAI "creative" models.

"What if the big tech companies achieved their ultimate business goal — maximizing engagement on their platforms — in a way that has undermined our ability to function as an open society? What if they realized that when folks agree on a solution to a problem, they are most likely to log off a site or move on?"
