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.
Yet there are countless extremely banal posters, made of sakuras, flags, red sun rays and purely random hieroglyphics that mean nothing, made by humans for the entire history of poster-making.
Most illustrators available to most businesses for hire would do worse job for more money and much more time than an LLM would do.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but advertisement does need a creative bar too high. No one cares about it. It’s enough to have a black text on a white background saying what is happening, when and where. The rest is optional, and most of the time gets in the way of understanding the poster info.
Y’all terribly overestimate quality of human art (as well as how informed humans are and how accurate their answers are) while riding the LLM hate train.
