Great, identity politics. Didn't watch the ad, it's probably bad. But what's more lazy than jumping on the 'white guy' insulting bandwagon?

What if we didn't play the game to vilify a specific name ? What was done with the name Karen was disgusting enough to not be done again with Kyle (And before any comment: I'm called Kyle, I don't know anyone named Kyle, it's at best a very uncommon name in my country)

The ad is pretty silly, but where exactly does Kyle direct Copilot to steal Daniel's work? To, as the writer put it " literally copy it "? All he did was ask for Copilot to improve his charts. The author's looseness with the facts made me stop reading.
