I got the ad pictured in frame 2 today and it made me sad, so I made this meme. So many levels of sad:
- Sponsored ad for a charity, plausible but seems fishy.
- The needy children are positioned as "earning" the food and education they will get by your donation by writing back to you. Just way too overtly transactional.
- The advertising tactic seems to prey on the lonely.
Assuming the charity is managing the money appropriately and donating it, is it insidious at all to use a stock photo?
Like it's insidious that we live in a world that to donate people feel like they need recognition from the hungry child. It's more insidious that there are hungry children at all of course
Can we really not agree that lying is bad? And now we have AI the lies are likely to get even more elaborate.
I'd lie if it meant a child was fed, unfortunately there's very little in this world that is only good or bad. There's a lot of grey
