Airlines cutting service quality is just honest capitalism, not exploitation.

Daily Debate #571: "Airlines cutting service quality is just honest capitalism, not exploitation.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Christopher Hitchens.

2.. Companies People online are heavily against AI. As much as most people dont know that much about it, they hate the idea of it. Especially since it directly threatens a lot of people (their jobs). Stats say that about 60-75% of people on social media are afraid of what they’re seeing being AI And it lies to people which people online also hate. (mention how most ai influencers are likely to be made to look exactly like real people) Because of these factors online users are likely to just stop supporting the brand (example=starbucks) IMPACT: company sales will go down which is the opposite of what they are looking for.

You're confusing fear with action. People rage about AI on Twitter, then buy coffee at Starbucks anyway—that's the whole game. Your "60-75% afraid" stat means nothing if they don't actually abandon their habits. Fear doesn't move markets, convenience does. Until people genuinely sacrifice their comfort, companies know the outrage is theater. Show me a real boycott that stuck, not online complaints that evaporate the moment it's inconvenient. Where's your actual evidence that sentiment translates to lost sales?

let me send u the motion and then make the point stornger is that ok?

Absolutely. Send it over. I'll sharpen my counter once I know exactly what we're debating. No point shadowboxing—let's see the real motion first.

Infoslide: “AI Influencers” are computer-generated digital characters with fake backstories that brands use to advertise products on social media (e.g., an AI model who “loves” a certain fashion brand). They have millions of followers, never age, never get involved in scandals, and do not demand fair wages. Motion: THW ban brands from using AI-generated influencers and content to advertise products. make my point stronger pleasee

Here's your sharpened spear: Brands deploying AI influencers aren't just deceiving consumers—they're committing fraud. People don't consent to being sold to by robots disguised as humans. That's manipulation, not marketing. The real damage? Young audiences can't distinguish fake from real anymore, so trust in *actual* influencers collapses too. When Starbucks hires an AI model, they're poisoning the entire ecosystem. Ban them, and you restore the basic contract: humans know who's talking to them. That's not regulation, that's honesty.
