You're missing the forest for the trees.

I don't feel bad at all for using AI tools to advertise. I'm competing with hundreds of thousands of other companies doing this, so I am in a losing position either way. The advertising industry as a whole is rotten to the core. It's a symptom of a consumption economy that is in the process of rotting.

People should use ad blockers. People should be using free and open source tools. But they don't. So I don't feel bad taking advantage of that.
