Ugh, I hate these. It makes me think: you cut corners on your flyer, something everyone sees, so what kinda corners do you cut where it’s hidden from your clients??
At least they’re openly advertising that they’re not worth visiting. Before, you went to events like these and got immediately disappointed, now you can tell from afar. Also applies to other businesses, like restaurants.
They’re all over Facebook. I don’t know why people do it, it makes them look like scam companies that don’t exist. All with that same horrific dead smiling AI face.
Dude. Or when an actual musician advertises with ai art? Like, bro, you could have just used sharpie on lined paper and it would have been better. There’s one like that that has signs up near where I live and every time I see it I’m just like BRUH. And then a few weeks ago at a public event I SAW THE MUSICIAN PLAYING, NEXT TO THEIR SIGN! I felt so bad for how stupid they were. Everybody avoided them like they were covered in shit. It was bad.
My last job was small, like 4 people small. The owner loved Ai. She would use it for everything. One day i decided to redo one of her menus. Im not a graphic artist. I have no training in it at all, but i jumped on Gimp and made a prototype. She loved it and raved at how much better it was than hers. Imagine if i was an actual graphic designer…
A Comic con did this with comic artist appearing at the event. What a slap in the face.
Also the MASSIVE theft of intellectual properties.
*So many Supermans
Ahh yes, the famously masked Superman.
And way too much info
Also featuring: a lack of essential information. Like opening hours to the business or its address.
I can’t believe the clankers stole jizz drops from us.
Clearly AI, look at all the fingers
I’m sorry you got downvoted, this is genuinely funny.
Edit: to the people wondering why, cats commonly have mutations that cause them to have extra beans (toes).
can’t slop won’t slop
I’m imagining a remix of this comic where the bottom left panel has the no AI kitty photoshopped on top of the flier and the bottom right panel has the girl’s face from the top right photoshopped onto her face
I tried ma best
here you deserve this (lemmygold)
Sorry, I don’t have an AI cat handy, but here’s a blank template:
Does her face remind anyone else of PirateSoftware?
Did you just say PirateSoftware???
Oh yeah, lmao
Excellent!
When going to work I pass two stores. One has an AI slop vomit of a poster, over fill with information and yet says nothing
The other has a simple blackboard. It still looks way better than the other
I’m currently in some small French vacation towns in Southern France. Most shops have AI slop signs in their windows.
They ALL 👏 LOOK 👏 THE SAME! 👏
It’s crazy! The same cartoon graphics. The same lettering. The same little dashes around the text. It’s horrible.
The infestation might be centered around the local print shop
if you have more than 5 employees and use AI for your branding, I immediately dismiss your business
I mean even if you have more but none of them are artists I will still take a stick figure drawing on the menu over the AI crap.
Just go pay a few high school students to make your flyer.
They’ll do it happily. I did stuff like this in school and I’d charge like $30/hr (15+ years ago) and everyone was very happy. Your offer should be even higher today.
If you want to make a flyer, call your local high school, ask to talk to the art or communications technology teachers, and ask what they think. The kids would love stuff for their portfolios, and I’m pretty sure kids like money too.
Or you can call your local art store, or find an artist to commission online. Or you could make a crappy flyer yourself without AI (please include date + location).
Just go pay a few high school students to make your flyer.
They’ll likely use AI.
Everything I’ve heard and experienced being the dad of a teenager is that the kids all hate AI. She abhors it with a passion and her friends are similarly aligned against AI. For literally any use.
Now, college kids, you’re probably right, but she’s not there yet (and my back doesn’t hurt enough yet for that).
I’m just worried about younger children, elementary school and below. They don’t have the critical thinking required to “hate AI”. I fear they may become highly dependent on it. This is of course up to the parents to prevent, but I don’t put a lot of hope in that for the majority of people.
I didn’t specifically make my kids hate AI, but my hate for it rubbed off on them (they’re 12 and 10) and they always call out slop — to a point that it gets kinda annoying, actually, lol. Like, we get it little dudes, the world sucks, but you don’t have to keep reminding me.
The thing is, they still know the world before slop. Will kids who grow up with slop all around them feel the same?
Probably not, considering so many people who grew up in a AI-slop free world don’t give give a fuck as it is. Some people just don’t mind slop. AI or otherwise.
Can confirm. My friend’s kid got seriously pissed that she (friend) told her (the kid) something the AI said, even though she followed it up with the right information immediately. Like, seriously pissed.
Good to see. 😄
Then don’t pay those kids.
You meet them, walk through what you want, price, time estimate, write it down, then check back when they’re done.
But I’m guessing that the teachers, if they’re okay with this, would point you towards the more interested kids.
(please include date + location).
It’s wild how often people leave this info off entirely, or just “the blue house on main st.” like I somehow know where that is!
Don’t even have to pay. Those kids usually need volunteer hours, and school events usually count. Tell them to take 2 hours to make a poster and if it’s AI they won’t get the credit.
Volunteer hours are not for being unpaid labor for any dumbass that wants a poster for their store/podcast/whatever. Any school that allows that is negligent in their duty and anyone that tries it is an asshole.
Ah for some reason I saw the comic and interpreted it as being for some education-related event. In my area kids do get volunteer credit for doing things for school and town events.
It’s a cosplay event.
Everyone will be cosplaying as an artist.
So photographers will be there too?
The food ones are so gross to look at
I saw a burrito one someone took a photo of. Cut in half, the inside was a trypophobia nightmare with what looked like larvae inside it.
Yeah! They’re all like that. I have no idea where in the training dataset that became associated with “delicious”.
My local school (5-10yrs) is having an art exhibition for the students this week. Did they get one of the kids to design the flyer? Or maybe make it a group project? Or maybe one of the mums could spend 5 minutes in MS Paint? No? Too much effort? Let’s get AI to do it instead.
And the number of people who seem to be happy to feed pictures of their families and kids into AI astounds me.
All I ever hear is “they have it all anyway, why does it matter?” When I state how bad this is to feed images and video to the slop machine.
Its actually really sad now how many people have never even heard of gimp or tux paint or paint because they just use slopbots for images. They know nothing else. Depressing.
At the very least, they know how to use Canva but man, but from what I remember from two minutes of using it, that shit was really barebones. Aren’t they kinda AI-first now too?
That’s really sad to hear
Having it be a large collage made by the students as a collaborative project would have been SO MUCH better
“Artists”
This haa some major meme template potential
