    I don't mind AI art, generally.

    However. The amount of pizza/kebap places that did an AI redesign of their shop AND MENU is crazy. The amount of cars that advertise small businesses using basically Disney style straight out of an AI. Like nearly every local event is basically just "Chatgpt make me flyer" with factual errors in the texts, even the in my local hospital that's what info flyers look like ...

    And seriously. Didn't they look at there kebap? It looks nether apetizing nor like a kebab, why would they print that oversized and glue it on their business? Something very real they build over years with hard work.

    It's like individuality is dying in front of our eyes

      During a recent trip, we saw a sushi place with some brand new huge printed advertisements. The sushi rolls had perfectly symmetrical “rice” that looked more like a corn cob than anything else. I had the same thought, how could the store manager possibly have approved this!? It’s like nobody gives a shit.

        You’re right, they don’t care.

        People are using LLMs for the things they consider distractions but are “required”, or at least feel that way about: ads, marketing web sites, emails to/from coworkers, and even RFP responses to government agencies.

        Wherever someone uses the raw output of an LLM signifies how little they wanted to do the work in the first place yet still [desperately] want to reap the benefits of appearing to care.

        Yesterday, I was searching for local HVAC maintenance companies when I came across one with a map showing their service area.

        At a quick glance, it seemed fine but that was no longer the case once you zoomed in: it was a collection of hallucinated, non-sensical names. I too said, “how in the world was this reviewed and approved!?”, and then quickly came to the same conclusion that you did: “nobody gives a shit about this stuff anymore”.
