Xbox Gaming LinkedIn ad using generative AI causes scrutiny after recent Microsoft job cuts

[Redaktion]

A LinkedIn ad for an Xbox Graphics role ironically uses generative AI, showing a backwards-facing monitor. Following layoffs that affected multiple studios, Microsoft may replace more employees with AI. Several Xbox executives face criticism for insensitive responses to the job losses.

[Observing]

The image accurately reflects what is like working at the Xbox division at Microsoft. It is NOT AI. 😆

Comical at best... LOL!!!

Did a human 'draw it' or did a human 'direct' a computer to draw it?

Case in point: as early as the 1990's (for those of us that were actually ALIVE back then) 'Computer Aided Design' (CAD) had progressed to a point where an Electrical design could be fully generated (taped out) by a CAD program in 1/3 (or less) of the time that a human needed to do the same thing.

While most companies continue to this day (2025) to employ Hardware CAD designers to 'coach', 'direct' or 'fill in' where CAD Software may fall short.

I'd wager that >%90 of the hardware that readers of this very site are using (as well as the hardware that this site runs on!!) was developed with CAD software which employs some form of "AI" or other in the mix.

Over the decades computers have 'disrupted' many fields.

Get used to it.
