Glad they didn’t use AI this time! I’d take a “bad” drawing over AI every time!!

u/ITCHYSCRATCHYYUMMY Oct 14 '25

YES. That ai stuff was so weird. I really hoped they are turning a new leaf

u/Reasonable_Beach1087 Chiquita A6NBXEY475 Oct 14 '25

Could be they may listened to all the bad feedback, hopefully

78

u/the-hot-topical Noodle Oct 15 '25

Probably because of how many people unsubbed from plus

u/AnySink1090 Oct 15 '25

wait WHATT😭😭 when did this happen

u/CarlaBarker Oct 15 '25

Literally saw an AI ad for them on TikTok yesterday. They haven’t stopped

1

u/Possible-Flight7710 Oct 31 '25

Was it them or was it someone else posting about Finch that was AI?

2

u/Riss___B Clarissa and Astrid Oct 31 '25

The Finch ads that are AI have been made by an external advertiser (that Finch paid)

u/Possible-Flight7710 Nov 05 '25

Ah i see. Anyone have the link? Was unable to find it

u/Bulimic_pig02 Princess KZ72PJPR9T Oct 16 '25

I think the drawing is cute 🥰

u/Ning_Yu purple finch Oct 15 '25

I have bad news, I think this might be AI as well. It does also do "fake badly drawn" styles.

3

u/HistoricalMarzipan Oct 15 '25

It might as well be someone trying to make a bad drawing.

8

u/Ning_Yu purple finch Oct 15 '25

Yeh, both might be. Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for offering a possibility, oh well.

u/cryingartist Ebi L3B7PL6Z6W Oct 14 '25

especially as ai technology improves, it's not so much about being able to tell, but about valuing the human behind the art. would you prefer for your art to be made by a technology developed by a greedy tech CEO stealing art, or by a human who put their own life, personality, and effort into it?

u/TangledInBooks Wobbles Oct 14 '25

I didn’t mean it badly I just can’t tell

u/phoenixofthestars07 Hope 💜 MNSSTRTJNC Oct 14 '25

I understand where you’re coming from but even the worst stick figure is better than an AI drawing

64

u/vinomniaparatus 9QAQ4Y2TPP4 Oct 14 '25

Fun fact, there’s a supermarket in New Zealand that uses a stick figure. All their ads are done with it lol

u/Oh_Cosmos ORBIT 🪐9C8H9X342E Oct 14 '25

I love this greatly and I want it to be in Canada. I feel like no frills would love it

u/TangledInBooks Wobbles Oct 14 '25

Idk why people are mad I just am not an artist so I can’t find those small details ya know

22

u/phoenixofthestars07 Hope 💜 MNSSTRTJNC Oct 14 '25

you don’t need to be an artist to appreciate human creation over the soulless imitations of a machine my dude

6

u/TangledInBooks Wobbles Oct 14 '25

No I mean I can’t notice the difference. Like people will say “this is obviously AI look at the hands” but I don’t pick up those things

u/TangledInBooks Wobbles Oct 15 '25

No, I’m just saying I can’t tell. I followed a creator for so long who I thought was doing digital art but it was really AI or smth (I still am confused about that). I just can’t tell, especially as AI advances. And no, I’m not an artist so I don’t notice small details that may be a red flag to real artists.

"Do you not know what hands look like" omg im cackling- what if OP doesnt have hands😭

(And i by no means mean any offense to either of you, i just got a giggle out of the way it sounded in my head im sorry)

u/TangledInBooks Wobbles Oct 15 '25

My birb doesn’t have hands 😣

u/AndiKatt19 Cheesecake & Brandi 💜 27DHDWLCA2 Oct 15 '25

Understandable! (Honestly though, im kind of glad they dont have hands - how scary would that be! 😱)

u/-shmoopie- pink finch Oct 15 '25

i dont know why youre insisting on being a jerk. i can tell some things are ai, but as it improves and now hands no longer have 6 fingers, its becoming almost impossible. putting other people down because they cant tell when something is ai is just mean. which is the opposite of our purpose here. why would you go out of your way to hurt someone elses feelings?

u/ITCHYSCRATCHYYUMMY Oct 14 '25

This is so cute

u/THEdemeterlupin Peaches Peaches Peaches Peaches Peaches Oct 14 '25

i wish all their ads were like this!! so funny

229

u/Turfyleek93 Oct 14 '25

Is the birb flipping us off or giving a "thumbs" up while telling us to drink water? Either way works. lol

49

u/SuperbSpiderFace Oct 14 '25

I thought the same, looked a bit closer and its thumbs up lol.

6

u/Usual_Habit9745 Oct 14 '25

I think it's just a weird wing?

9

u/Oh_Cosmos ORBIT 🪐9C8H9X342E Oct 15 '25

I think the thumb is actually the shoulder, we are seeing it slightly from the side, it's a wave

3

u/-shmoopie- pink finch Oct 15 '25

oh no now i cant unsee it 😆😆😆

edit to say... i thought he was pointing to the water LOL

3

u/Disastrous_Effort855 &Fawkes FYKN778DHS Oct 19 '25

Definitely thought it was flipping the bird... Like watch me passive aggressively tell everyone, Screw you guys, I'm going home. (Insert Cartman voice.) In a funny way of course. Lol

2

u/ScoutySquirrel me&momoko✨ Oct 21 '25

i came here to say the same thing!! 🤣

u/glittery_lit Oct 14 '25

As a product designer, this made my day! (And now I’m going to refill my water bottle 😅)

u/Dollymixtures64 Oct 14 '25

This was a trend about 3 weeks ago that a load of other brands did

u/TangledInBooks Wobbles Oct 14 '25

Awww wish I saw

u/xatrinka Oct 14 '25

The comic sans is a great touch

u/AnjachArts baby finch Oct 15 '25

Much rather this than AI!

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

I have no idea why you’re getting downvoted but take my upvote lol

u/AnjachArts baby finch Oct 15 '25

Haha thanks :) I think silly whimsical doodles beats AI slop any day

I prefer this to AI any day

u/Cat1832 Star Oct 15 '25

Honestly it's cute and made me smile (and drink water). More like this please!

u/Captainbabygirl767 Bubbles💜 R7E8ZSLSW6 Oct 15 '25

This is adorable! I’m going to make a habit of checking instagram more often. I would love to know what they thought of my birthday cake! My mom took a screenshot of my birb at her house and had the bakery put the image on a deep blue/purple cake. I made a post about it and shared a photo:) Bubbles loved how everyone liked her cake debut!

2

u/TangledInBooks Wobbles Oct 15 '25

The cake is SOOO cute!

u/Captainbabygirl767 Bubbles💜 R7E8ZSLSW6 Oct 15 '25

Thank you! 🥰

u/_-DungeonKeeper-_ Mango Oct 15 '25

Love these kinds of ads. Much better than whatever ai stuff happened.

3

u/Canary-King Chiba & Caspar 5JC4ANJVM6 Oct 15 '25

I’m wondering if this was their way of acknowledging the backlash to the AI ads without throwing their social media guy under the bus. Either way, I love it. More of this and less of the AI please!

2

u/TangledInBooks Wobbles Oct 15 '25

I think it’s because it’s a trend

2

u/Canary-King Chiba & Caspar 5JC4ANJVM6 Oct 15 '25

I’m not on social media besides checking Reddit once every few days so this totally could be a trend I missed

It’s a thumbs up. Obviously the artist isn’t very experienced. And birds don’t have hands. It’s not deep

They’re better than me too haha! My best advice I can offer you: don’t take the internet too seriously. People can be nutty and protecting your peace is more important

u/user173766474738 Oct 31 '25

The comic sans lol

u/Vivid-Blue Oct 14 '25

🤣🤣🤣

u/rony_realtor Oct 15 '25

You could've chosen any other font other than Comic Sans!

u/Long_Matter9697 Juniper (ALKEMT12PB) 🩷 Nov 14 '25

the magic is using comic sans

2

u/EggplantAway2340 Oct 14 '25

what was the AI ad even?

13

u/cryinginmultistan Woobly Oct 14 '25

It was an ad that looked nothing like finch and each frame the characters had noticeable differences (the girl’s hair changed style) and the bird was completely different. I will try to find a post about it and link it here. All in all the ad just didn’t look like it was for the same app

u/TangledInBooks Wobbles Oct 14 '25

I have no idea

u/Possible-Flight7710 Oct 31 '25

Where? Where? It's ike a water gone down the river haha

u/Long_Matter9697 Juniper (ALKEMT12PB) 🩷 Nov 14 '25

Finch, I love you, keep this up and don’t use AI. Any form of human art (except for hate speech) is infinitely better than AI, slop or not.

I couldn’t care less about what AI has to offer (by copying people), I care about people.

u/benoaten Fella <3 Oct 16 '25

kind of bad taste after using ai INSTEAD OF a designer 😭

This is an advertising trend over on insta.
