my partner and i went to a new place that just popped up around the corner from where I work and every single menu, ad for upcoming events, and everything else you could imagine looked exactly like that wall of shit. I can't stand it, can't even avoid this shit by turning off your phone

and the sad thing is that so many creative people who had fun doing these dont get to do it anymore. being into art in the pre AI era you would get asked to review a draft, sketch a logo, help someone out with a drawing, and even make a simple flyer but that rarely happens anymore. it robs us of simple human interactions like these

I saw signs in a public parking area recently, like metal signs, telling people how to pay for parking in these spots, that looked like these flyers just in two-tone color. It was wild how unreadable it was for something that was mostly text and a QR code. It was so obvious that someone used AI to generate the layout of the sign.

I saw a completely AI generated flyer for an art class one time which I thought was sadly ironic
