      Never seen a good AI poster. Get your kid to doodle something it will genuinely be much better.

      AI posters bug the hell out of me. Every cafe, ice cream stall, mobile phone repair shop etc has the exact same style of over-busy, watercolor styled, brown and red poster out the front these days.

      It’s so weird seeing a Hayao Miyazaki style cartoon scene outside the mobile phone shop.

      There’s a lot of chatter in design circles about AI taking all our jobs. It’s not there yet, but I have noticed one clear upside: I’m no longer being pestered by extended family to design party invites, charity posters or wedding stationery.

      No one asks me for “quick” funny Photoshop edits anymore either.

      Honestly, this might be AI’s sweet spot.

      Isn’t this one of the very few acceptable use cases of image generating AI? No struggling pub or PTA is going to to hire a graphic designer to do these. 

      As long as the event is good who really cares if the poster as AI generated.

      Dont know why the local groups dont hold a competition with some of the local primary schools where the winning child has their poster used to promote the events.

      It encourages children to be creative, gets the community involved, etc.

      Most fetes have been soulless since the 90s in my area where they used to be a throwback to earlier decades (old ladies selling cakes, kids running games like find the football on subbetteo). You know harmless fun. Now they are used by businesses to set up advertising tents 🤢 mostly and not the aforementioned fun.

      Yeah, I make sure to not give my money to any stall that uses slop, like a nofap semen retention weirdo. Fucking hate the grift and the lack of humanity.

      These posters may never have been good, but at least you knew you could count on the details being right. Slop needs to bugger off.

    9. Space_Hunzo on

      I’m quite involved with local community theatre and it really disappoints me when I see crappy AI slop posters for otherwise very good productions. I understand the temptation when its a small group with limited resources but it takes so much personality out of the thing

    10. Through__Glass on

      The care provider that I work for has gone insane for this. I have to admit It’s fun counting all the extra fingers and limbs and mistakes that are riddled in these posters

      I have a very firm principle. If your sign is AI, I am not going. Most people I speak to feel the same way, especially younger people.

    12. KatVanWall on

      I don’t like AI, but these kinds of posters were always shite before, just a different kind of shite. No one was using graphic designers for them; it was always Keith the volunteer on clipart.

    13. Starkiller100 on

      I would rather see a terrible poster than an ai slop poster. It actually makes me switch off. If you couldn’t even be bothered to put in the effort to market something then I can’t be bothered to give you my time or money

    14. GayLiquidSpellSword on

      None of them are terrible looking but it’s omnipresent really, every single poster looks like they were all made by the same person, which they were but it wasn’t a person. That’s really the issue, every single poster or announcement or social media post is just AI slop that all blends together, it’s white noise that makes it all look Corporate as fuck.

      Give me back my Microsoft Word clip art posters, we have to save our souls.

    15. Owl_Towels on

      I’ve also noticed local pubs and shops using AI slop posters near me. Always looks cheap and tacky.

    16. Turklightenment on

      Ai could be perfect and I still wouldn’t like it.

      It’s the principle of it.

    17. MisterWhippy2024 on

      One of my clients is a pub. Everything they’ve sent me is AI. Written, poster, name. Everything. I’ve had to politely tell them It looks shit and re-do them all for them, with my convenience fee.

    18. hylian-bard on

      My workplace has produced two different posters for our summer party, and I’m pretty sure they’re both AI. The second one looks absolutely awful; way too much detail crammed into every inch of it.

    19. planeloise on

      The problem is it creates more detail than is needed to grab attention. It obscures. 

      I think like with all AI tools, it works better in the hands of a expert who knows the individual elements and principles to manipulate (disclaimer, I’m against AI in art but just saying that you probably wouldn’t know it was AI art if a professional handles it) 

      Susan from the Park events team is probably better off using MS Paint and clip art or a Canvas template. Lack of digital art skills usually leads to the simple sparse poster you’d want anyway 

    20. Optimal-Room-8586 on

      An unexpected consequence of the spread of AI generated art and graphics is that recognisably human art and creativity – with it’s idiosyncrasies and rough edges – becomes more prized.

    21. Tenmyth on

      Sick of seeing them on Facebook and now being printed off and put on display. It’s embarrassing

      Bring back the tweaky MS word / paint posters people used to make. Heck there are loads of free websites that will help you make one without ai slop.

    22. dan_in_his_own_way on

      It’s sad. Ive noticed pubs, theatres, summer fair etc. You name it, all AI. They’re so off-putting too.

    24. ElusiveCrab on

      Bosses at work are obsessed with AI and run everything through it. They cant even send a teams message without having it add a bunch of bullshit fluff and 400 emojis and everyone loves it 🙁

    25. Harrry-Otter on

      AI has absolutely ruined makers markets.

      Used to love picking up a few random bits from local artisans or whatever. Now it’s like 90% AI slop printed on a cushion.

    26. Durzel on

      My local pub was churning these out at the rate of at least one a day. As the article says they all have that soulless “more is less” quality to them.

      Ended up having to unfollow them as it got ridiculous. I can understand why they do it, but it just shows zero charm or character.

    27. Teaofthetime on

      Most people couldn’t tell the difference nor would they particularly give a fuck if we’re being honest.

    28. jj_sykes on

      It’s the cheap Chinese shit that seems to be flooding them as well – metallic bits of plastic and shit made to look like it’s been crafted by the person (you then see the same items at other fairs)

    29. GeneralSEOD on

      The photography and graphic design stalls near us are all doing the same thing too. that AI art shite, but claiming it’s them doing it. It’s so obvious.

      They used to actually do the work too, just became lazy bastards pretending I suppose.

    30. CastleofWamdue on

      Ive said this before, but all I see when a poster is AI, is that you used AI.

      Any message you trying to spread is lost under „this was made by AI“. If you are „lucky“ and I notice the details, its just a strong link between the event and AI in my mind.

    31. kool_kats_rule on

      My local pub does this and I do wish they would stop. They also keep advertising in the village newsletter with an AI image that might, charitably, be described as a pub, but doesn’t in any way resemble the village pub.

      Seriously, would it kill them to hand a local artist a few quid and a photo to get a simple drawing they can keep using?
