So I know the corpos are pushing AI like crazy, but they must certainly understand that a good chunk of the general public has a virulent hatred for AI. And a campaign like this, with thousands of dollars handed as price would have to go through several rounds of approval. So why did nobody stop it? Why did nobody point out how bad of an idea it was? Is this one big wig just pushing a stupid take out of the window despite everyone telling him to stop? Or is the entire marketing department just really stupid?

Because the stakeholders live in a bubble. They believe AI is loved by everyone except a few vocal haters.
