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 AI for a majority of their throwaway adverts really matters.

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.
