Lately I’ve been seeing Reddit ads with clearly AI generated marketing images and it just makes me assume the company is an unserious fly-by-night operation and/or a one person company.
The most embarrassing recurring ad I’ve seen lately is for some kind of device management IT solution with AI generated MacBooks where the Apple logo is completely mangled. No idea how you could overlook that or notice it but somehow think it doesn’t cheapen your company’s image.

Exactly this. Any serious company would manage their brand seriously. Even if you're a one person bootstrapped startup, you should take your brand seriously and get some artwork commissioned. It isn't that expensive and makes a massive difference to how you're perceived.
Using AI generated images says to me (rightly or wrongly) that you take shortcuts. So, if you take shortcuts with your brand, what's your product like?
Whilst watching the Olympics I've seen an eToro ad a few times that is very clearly AI generated, it wasn't exactly a confidence builder in a financial platform.
