AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible

    But the thing is, all have that icon+text style in the "tombola, cakes and drinks..." part. If I wanted to be distinctive, this is what I would have tried to get rid of at first, not the "visual style" (it's sort of like Windows XP visual styles, no matter how different they are the overall layout is still recognisably Windows).

      yeah

      although I guess it's that the author used the same context with the original generated image and thus it just reused that icon+text thing

      but in general, these models do seem to be kind of just go for an information-dump type of style where its just listing everything and putting as much stuff in that is associated with the words, which is what these LLMs do

      so you'd probably need to steer them heavily with explicit instructions on what to do and how to get rid of it, which I'd bet nobody will actually do when making these posters

      It's really impressive how the icons+text carries through every single one of them isn't it.

        The thin line between them is also really tenacious (only the punk one dropped it)
