      Ouch. Have a little compassion. It is not easy running a small business, even less so when you've got a baby FFS!

      Also, it's one thing to dislike AI to the point where it "kills the mood" (for you) when you see an AI-generated poster, so you stop visiting that particular coffee shop. It's something else entirely to threaten the business owner.

         To be fair, the “threat” was to post a story to Instagram, so perhaps “warning” is a fairer characterization of what happened.

         I do have compassion for the business owner though - lots of mixed signals between people selling AI and the people having been sold AI now rejecting it.

         If not even software engineers can keep up (we still see slop posted here regularly), how is a non-tech person supposed to know better. I try to be gentle and/or keep my mouth shut when it’s people who can’t be expected to know better.
