   Marketing is about attracting customers.

   So the incentives are there to present the image you want to project to attract customers.

      Hey buddy, not everything is about cold calculation. Some of us value culture and integrity. These are going to matter even more in the age of AI not less.

         Advertising is more about selling aspirations rather than reflect objective reality.

         To wit: even the original photo was probably staged…

            Anything you do as a university / person reflects your values. This shows a lack of integrity.

               Why?

                  Isn’t it obvious? Integrity is about honesty. They showed a picture claiming the school is one way, but the picture was a fabrication. It’d be the same if they were staging food in the cafeteria for marketing, but that food isn’t available to students.

                  You can make what you have look as good as it can, and I’m sure everyone does that.

                  But AI fabrications are crossing the line to outright lies, which is by definition violating integrity.
