I recently came across this video from Robin James, which i’ll attach here https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H1jslzwZT8E In the video he points out something that i find a bit alarming, which is the increase of ai usage in advertising, particularly in this video… Pengaligon’s They took it down quickly but have already faced immense backlash from it, i think. But the time it was up there already has made comments and got people talking about it. And it isn’t just Penhaligon’s, i’ve found Memo Paris, and even Xerjoff have started using AI for their images and videos, although they’re not as widespread, they’re still there. Now Robin expressed dislike and disapproval of Penhaligon’s usage, especially considering how quickly they took it down. It’s almost like they were experimenting and dipping their toes into the water, to see if they could or not. I myself am not the biggest fan of this either, and it’s for a few reasons. You can disagree with me on this if you want, and if you do, i’d love to hear your perspective on the matter. Now a disclaimer before we talk about this, i want to make it clear that im not some gigantic ai hater who goes seething at the mouth whenever i see its usage. There’s tons of brothers even in this community, myself included, who enjoy using it for visuals and such, and there’s no problem in that. It’s a quick and simple way to add fun visuals to your posts and illustrate your points better. There’s no problem in that. For individual use, i think it’s perfectly fine and quite fun to use! Number two, i don’t want to come across as like a virtue signaling “look how correct I am, let’s CANCEL these guys” or whatever lol. This is just my opinion personally. Now with that being said, id like to explain my reasoning on why i’m kind of disappointed in these brands for using AI. The biggest reason for me is in the same realm for why I disapprove of communities like fragrancetok, the huge rise and over saturation of clone houses, and a boom of constant advertising on social media…

After seeing @Brett Sutton wore this the other day, I couldn't remember when I last wore this, so I figured today was my day. It's always a fan favorite when I wear it and since I'm in meetings all day, this won't be offensive. Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!!
