But image generation doesn't matter. It's a fun toy but it's not part of any professional workflow they care about, doesn't impact long term strategic goals, etc. It's literally just PR mistake they're covering for.
Praise reveals priorities. They don't care about getting things right the first time. They don't care about important projects. That's the inference.
