A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

My work unintentionally ironically used an AI flyer to promote an art show. Everyone in management is besotted with it.
It's this era's WordArt.
WordArt was art. This is AI slop.
I remember the early days of desktop publishing. Before that people couldn't easily use multiple fonts or sizes. After, at least for a while, everything looked like a ransom note.
There was a hideous copper to light blue gradient option that my school district loved
Honestly if we brought back the ransom note aesthetic, people might find it a breath of fresh air compared to the low effort chat gpt posters they see today.
Man, they do all look just like that. There's one promoting some kind of event on the college campus near me. Like, you couldn't find someone to design a poster on a college campus? It isn't a student group that made it, the university itself did.
Been noticing every YouTube thumbnail with these boring designs. Like 80% of my feed uses these. All they do is change the color palette. Same brush stroke letters.
It’s god awful.
Anyone got a version that doesn't require me to sign up?
I want to name my band Bunny and the Rhododendrons now.
