A coffee shop owner used AI to make a menu poster. Then came the angry DMs

    Threatening people is unwarranted, but of course people are allowed to choose where they buy coffee for whatever reasons they see fit. If the market decides that stores with AI posters aren't the place to be then the business has to adapt.

        Using AI to make a sign is likely a pretty good indicator as to the effort the owner puts into other aspects of their business.

          Unless they use the time they previously spent making a sign into making a better coffee.

            How would a coffee shop spend an hour making their coffee better

            Like you own a coffee shop and you’ve freed up one hour in the 12 weeks before you have to make a new sign, what do you do in that hour that makes the coffee better?

              Spending the money you would have wasted on a flaky local artist to draw an overpriced disposable sandwich board on better coffee beans.

              The entitlement is off the charts. The more I read this insanity, the more I hope she printed it at Walmart with a discount coupon.
