    I would definitely be less likely to buy food/drink from a place with AI ads (because I don't trust that what they're advertising would correspond to what they're selling), but I can't imagine threatening someone over it.

      I would once again like to point out that the "threat" mentioned in the article is someone saying they'll talk about what the shop owner did with their friends.

        "post about it in a local artist community" is not exactly "talk about it with their friends."

        It's bullying.

          It's informing people that there is something a business is doing that they might not approve of and they might want to change their behaviour accordingly.

            In the same way that sealioning is just a debate strategy.
