   > "Endeladyze said she felt terrible that she had upset her customers, but she was also frustrated at the idea that she should have been paying a real artist. Making these signs was a job only she had done herself or with employees in the past, never hiring outsiders."

   This seems like the wrong attitude to take after experiencing such a backlash. If she'd made the signs herself for years then why resort to using AI to produce what is so obviously a generic slop result?

   The article says she paid $150 for printing and $200 for a stand. Why not throw another $200 towards an artist?

      Sounds like she was undervaluing her previous employee's artistic skills.

         Indeed, artists provide a very valuable service. It's a shame the AI industry feels they're replaceable when they're obviously not.

            But...they really don't? Everyone is replaceable, there's nothing special about artists.
