They will likely soon discover, as everyone is, that the genie is out. Their only real choice is to learn how to live with it. That may be requiring AI generated material to be labeled and firing anyone who fails to do so. But simply banning it isn’t likely to work for very long.
Agreed, it’s already starting to climb out of the uncanny valley and it will only continue to get better. Within another 5~10 years I doubt most people will be able to distinguish it from something a real person created at all.
In this case though, I honestly wonder if anyone really cares if WotC or any other company uses it, considering any sane person avoids advertisements like the plague nowadays.

Maybe, or maybe not. The issue with machine learning software is that despite what they are marketed as, there is zero intelligence in them. They basically work via trial and error, and to know they have errored they must have references. And with an increasing number of generated content flooding the internet, differentiating the real reference material from generated material will be difficult, as in not cost effective. So we will end up with generated content teaching the model to generate content, and the progress we have seen will be effectively halted.
I’m already starting to have trouble with it. I’ve been perusing all on here cos the few communities I’ve found that fit my hobbies are pretty dead and I’m done with them for the day in less than 5mins. And being in all has exposed me to a shit load of ai porn. A lot is very obviously generated, but a lot of it also makes me double check what instance I’m on as it is super good at generating “real people” that look convincing. It’s not quite perfect, but it’s good enough to confuse me a little. Hell, there’s the odd one or two that I see where I legitimately can’t tell if it’s real or generated.

The big philosophical question (with practical implications) is, wether our intelligence evolved differently.

No, no, they should fire that marketing guy who used AI because he is destroying human jobs! Like his own job that he now lost!
Are you talking about big data, no-code, NFTs, Crypto, Blockchain or AI?
LLMs and image generators, to be exact
