AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible

    I find it kinda funny that even "smartest", most capable models often have a very hard time going beyond surface-level, top-of-mind associations, when faced with creative tasks.

    Of course, a "Japanese Minimal Poster" has a sakura and a stylized flag of Japan, duh

    A human designer would probably think that "Japan -> sakura" and "Japan -> Japanese flag" are way too obvious, too banal, too stereotypical, and, most importantly too boring. And then they would probably sit for a while and try to think of something fresher and less clichéd.

    But AI has absolutely no problem with going with the cheesiest, most overused trope.

      The masses love clichés and stereotypes, which is why these "artiste" designers frequently miss their target audience.
