That one brand apology that used AI art of the CEO crying
Saw this post last week from a skincare brand called DewDrop. Their ad campaign messed up by using influencers who clearly never tested the product. The apology video rolled out 2 days later with this AI generated image of the founder crying over her laptop. Not a real photo, obviously fake tears and everything. The comments tore it apart in about 30 minutes flat. Has anyone else noticed brands trying to skip the sincere part of apologies lately?

Grabbed the whole AI art thing and ran with it... @nancybailey is right, it's straight out of a bad episode. Like, if you're gonna fake cry, at least hire an actor or just be real about it. These brands think we can't tell when they're cutting corners on the apology part, but it just makes everything worse. The whole point of saying sorry is proving you mean it, not using a robot to do the crying for you. Makes me wonder what's next, a pre-written apology tweet with AI generated finger quotes...
