Haven't ordered from Optics Planet in years.

Dosgshit shipping times, poor customer service, and honestly prices are better elsewhere.

assuming they even have the item to ship instead of "oops, just kidding about in stock, it's back ordered"

Primary Arms and Midway will forever be my go-to places, no matter what kind of deal Optics Planet offers to drop ship for me.

Leave a comment trashing the ad and mocking the incompetence of their marketing team - who will be reading it. That's what I do on every AI ad I see for any product.

You know by doing that you are validating the AI ad. The biggest thing marketers want is engagement, and leaving comments is just that driving engagement. And more engagement means algorithms will push it to more people. In a way it’s a whole thing now to do bad AI stuff to cause outrage and drive engagement

People read comments on ads to look for real feedback. I say let these companies pay to put negative comments about their own brand in front of other potential customers' eyes.

We know they already cut corners on their customer service.

It's not like they actually have any products on hand to show

My first impression of them was an AI ad on YouTube. Great ad, showed me I need to avoid this store

I buy my optics from B&H, all kinds. No sales tax (with Payboo) is a bonus.

Its a tool made to use

StressfulRiceball@reddit

A tool for tools, sure

Only brainlets and boomers enjoy AI art commercially

[-]

excellentiger@reddit

Its an advertisement just like any other, meant to be ignored.

Why are leftists so against AI?

timc_720@reddit (OP)

The problem of AI is not partisan

[-]

excellentiger@reddit

What is the issue with it? Some art degree fellow isnt getting paid to make art for a useless ad?

MentionMyName@reddit

You really gotta stop looking at the world through the lens of politics. We are talking about humanity here. AI is coming for all of us.

Not if you work in the AI industry

sirbassist83@reddit

even if you work in the industry. if youre not an owner or C-suite level, the plan is to replace you

[-]

TheRealTwooni@reddit

Not if you’re the person who build and maintains the AI that replaced the other employees.

In what way?

[-]

Leptonshavenocolor@reddit

Why are irrational people (rightest) so easily duped?

[-]

excellentiger@reddit

Please answer my question

TacTurtle@reddit

Because anyone with a functional brain should be against widespread AI use as a cost cutting measure without regard for accuracy of information, clarity, or relevance, and anyone stupid enough to use "leftist" as a thought terminating cliche so they don't have to exercise the barest scrap of cognitive ability deserves to be replaced by AI slop since they have the same number of functional neurons.
