J Crew caught using AI models in new campaign

J Crew is the latest brand to embrace AI artwork, and found itself in hot water with their customers. It seems to go against what they stand for, or at least symbolize, in the hearts of their fans. I dive into why they would do this, and what the implications are for the fashion marketing landscape in general.
