Our office has a contest every year to pick a photo to use as our holiday card, which gets sent to all of our clients and suppliers. It's been a nice way to see photos submitted by people who work here, and we've had some really beautiful nature photography and Christmas lights be the winners in past years. The winner of the office-wide vote for the card's picture also gets a little gift (a small gift card).
This year, someone submitted an AI image of a fireplace and Christmas decorations, and it's currently in the lead to win the vote, over the pictures of actual Christmas trees, snowy landscapes, pets in holiday outfits, etc. I think it's in terribly poor taste, and also would not be great for our image to have AI as the face of our Christmas card. I'm pretty pissed off, and am currently trying to decide if it's worth raising a stink about if it wins. Should I even bother?
Edited to add: I am the person responsible for designing the card after the photo is chosen, so I can't just forget about it either.
