AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible

    I think this is a misdiagnosis of the problem. The AI posters are just fine, perhaps even pretty good.

    The problem is that using AI to create the posters show a lack of willingness to put in effort, and it makes you question whether the producer cares about the product and whether they care about the large scale societal problems related to the usage of post-2022 transformer based neural networks.

      How much effort was put into these things pre-AI? None of these are big professional things, just local events. Those never had professional posters.

        Deception is certainly part of the problem. Imagine if your friend sent you a paragraph personal text message on your birthday. Then imagine you find out they didn't write it at all, their AI agent just went through the contact list, saw your birthday and generated a message based on previous conversations.

        The message you received is the same either way, but it's clearly different.
