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.

          Absolutely not. My local kebab shop 100% uses AI for their menus and signage. It’s delicious. He does not have time or the desire to worry about the provenance of the menus.

          It’s a pretty good indicator the owner bought a ChatGPT or Canva subscription, that’s about it.

            I wonder if they worry about the provenance of their meat. Might be delicious but you might be eating horse.
