I’ve been using a cartoonish profile picture for my work emails, teams portrait and other communications for many years. There is almost no way to tell that kind of icon apart from AI generated icons at that size anyway.
And even if it was, that’s not the point of the conversation. Fixating on that is such bad faith it betrays a defensiveness about AI generated content, so it’s particularly important that someone like you get this message, let me reiterate clearly:
I have a role of responsibility, I hire people and use company budget to make decisions on other companies and products we’ll be paying for. When making these decisions I don’t look at the email signatures of people or the icons they use. I look at their presentation materials and if that shit is AI generated I know immediately it’s just a couple people pretending to be an agency or company, or some company that doesn’t quality-control their slides and presentation decks. It shows laziness. I would rather go with a company that has data and specs rather than lean on graphics anyway. So if those graphics are also lazy AF that’s a hard pass. Not my first rodeo, I’ve learned to listen to experience.
I was pointing out the irony, nothing more. Not every comment needs to be read too deeply into. Even my avatar picture is AI generated, it was from those blockchain AI generated reddit ones years ago.
I don’t think anyone thought it was that funny or interesting of a comment, it reads the same kind of petty AI-bro comment that people make who are absolutely hooked on blindly defending AI in all capacities.
Sure it did… and judging from your previous rant, I’m sure it has nothing to do with you maybe reading much deeper into things that aren’t really there.
So… about his AI generated picture beside his name…
Just because it’s generic doesn’t mean it’s AI generated
