I yearn for the old days of bad photoshop/wordart/powerpoint flyers.
replyThey were visually bad but honest and sometimes soulful or playful.
The AI slop that's everywhere now looks superficially more professional but it's very busy, samey, unnatural and it really turns me off.
I don't want to say this is indicative, but my local library used AI-generated event poster/images for the past year. But recently they switched back to word/clipart event posters. When I was checking out, I query the librarian about it, and apparently they saw a 40-60% drop in attendance. On one hand, I found that hard to believe, but on the other hand, simple word/clipart event posters do have a certain inviting charm about them.
