They boast having hired 5 slop specialists that chose the least worse shots over 70000 prompts

They have something like $50 billion yearly revenue, can't pay real people for an ad? Literally peanuts for them.

70,000 prompts? Let's say it takes 30 seconds to render a shot, and 30 seconds to consider if it's acceptable. That's 145 person days to get a bad result.

Massive waste.

There were definitely more person days spent doing it the traditional way. Ib the article they note they would've started a year ago. Even just the handful of folks on set, the caterers, drivers, costumers, location scouts, permit wranglers, talent, director, writer etc probably gets close to 145 people days if the shoot went over 2 or 3 days.
