I suggest you change the demo.
1. Boys see girl 2. Boys fight over girl
Creator could have chosen literally anything else to represent their product but instead went with an animation of boy emojis fighting over a girl emoji.
Where I made up my mind is during “dance party” where the boys have faces and the girl has a dancing woman for a head.
Overall the idea is creative, but also not at all what I hoped. Was hoping for diagrams of actors in the systems sense.
If you thought that was bad, whatever you do, do NOT click the play button for the 5th step-by-step example: Expressions & Limbs.
I've never, EVER, in 18 years of being in this business, seen a software product demo of an emoji doing THAT before...
Wow. That sure is something.
Such a weird and creepy choice
yeah... AI doesnt seem to make us more creative
Ironically I don't think AI is this tone deaf.
You could've commented literally anything else instead of this but instead went with a zero-content apparent criticism of the web page.
> zero-content
Changing the default demo is a reasonable and actionable suggestion.
But not why.

Reproducing cringy sexist bullshit is a choice deserving of criticism.
No-one's mentioned that anything's sexist, or how. You're filling in the blanks to create content where there wasn't any.

Its the plague of western people thinking they have the moral high ground over other cultures and nations. In the place where I grew up this kind of scene would be considered normal. But you must be the one who dictates what is right and what is wrong, don't you?

The fact that people in the tech-world don't realize that they are embodying deeply ingrained sexist / toxic behavior is the reason why women aren't more present, and why people like Musk or other sociopaths have been celebrated by this community, while the rest of the world hate them...
Yes. It’s astonishing how I see individuals with these enormous egos centered on their intellectual, technical achievements, who have such egregious blindspots surrounding their own unethical attitudes and behavior.
Sirs, please turn the apparatus upon itself. Question yourself as a part of a larger system. What is your function among members of your own species? How can you falsify your hypotheses on this subject? Please don’t be so incurious.
