Confusing PR to gather some of the biggest names in the space but promote it with outdated cheap AI. Viral nonetheless.

Look at those colours, man.

Oh shit! Didn't realize JSNation was taking place in Narnia!

As a former resident of Amsterdam, I can confirm that there are NOT windmills on every street corner

Yeah that guy is a local legend.

The ad copy is generated too. Awful.

As if there wasn’t enough reasons to hate JavaScript.

The only thing I can tell you for sure, is that that's not actually Amsterdam (I live there) but it's Amsterdam-alike. If it's AI or not, that's gonna be hard to tell unless you ask them or you see people with 6 fingers.

It's very cool of you to reconsider your position on this, I like that a lot! Honestly, my orginal intention wasn't even as compassionate as yours. I was mostly agreeing with you, as I think it's pretty safe to assume that it's AI generated and that it would be better to then use "the real thing."

I'm not against using AI-generated illustrations and whatnot, but not everywhere. In this specific case I would have enjoyed if someone actually put some effort into finding a nice photo like you showed, or paid an artist to create something bespoke. There are heaps of talented folks on Fiverr.

local tennis org that has been hiking fees for court reservations went with this garbage instead of paying for an actual photo, or using one they already owned.

AI has better graphics.

Amsterdam is _beautiful_ and very easy to take a great picture of. Hell, I’ll let them use my own pictures if they want.

Totally agree. Funny to see the Westertoren (the church tower) and De Gooyer (the windmill) in one picture though. Both are Amsterdam landmarks.
