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.

      i generally go to the store where the coffee tastes better

        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.

          It only signals to me that they have other priorities.

            Correct, but they own a coffee shop, they aren't building rockets. The menu is definitely a significant part of it.

            If they can barely do that, then I'm sure they're slacking off on more stuff too.

              My coffee shop barely has a menu. None of the current roasts are listed anywhere, you have to ask and they change daily. No signage. It’s consistently the best coffee I’ve had. Not fussy but very very good.

              They do slack off on cleaning the chairs and the decor, that’s for sure. The coffee though is phenomenal.
