What makes you think it's AI?

Look at the text on the beer can. It’s gibberish.

Like other commenter said, its more a general vibe.

Its the blocky graphic on either side with smaller text labeled modern squared off graphics in the middle. Its the font. Its the spacing. Its got the same general flow of the dozens of AI generated websites I've seen.

Its too cleanly unclean.

[–] NathanDerWeise@feddit.org 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The "emphasis whiskers" are a dead giveaway. Plus I've seen multiple AI generated posters with this exact color/font scheme. You're gonna keep seeing it over and over now that you know what to look for, unfortunately.

The style of the text is a big giveaway to me. Generated text has gotten a lot better (ie usually legible), but it's pretty much always that same block letters that aren't quite perfect enough to be a typeface, but also not designed well enough to be made by hand.

The general format of this one is also fits closely to a lot of other generated posters I've seen (some examples: https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/2d35f3bf-bc05-4971-8c8d-9e69fe857bde.png). It's hard to describe, but hopefully you can see what we're talking about.

I also think it's AI. It's not something in particular I can point out that makes me think that, it's more an impression. An impression that comes from having seen a ton of slop.

The AI slop used to generate the ad poster contained a nice suggestion for an alternative name for this crap:

This shit should be illegal zero alcohol or not we should not allow advertisement of beer to children. Where the fuck protect the children groups on this shit?

[–] protist@retrofed.com 13 points 3 weeks ago

The "protect the children" groups have federal cover now to actively harm children, which is what they always wanted to do anyway

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 7 points 3 weeks ago

Lmao. They don’t ACTUALLY give a fuck about children.

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago (18 children)

German here. I'm absolutely flabbergasted that this incomprehensible opinion has 20 upvotes.

0% alcohol is 0% alcohol. What the fuck are you talking about?

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

There used to be candy that looked like cigarettes and soft drinks made to look like a champagne bottles, and at some point we decided that was not a good idea.

I drink and I smoke, but I also think it's not a good idea to get children used to those things. You can drink responsibly but there's no quantity of alcohol that does zero damage, and the less we get young people used to them the better.

I'm also German but nobody should advertise harmful drugs to children.

So, there are these things called candy cigarettes. They are candy shaped like cigarettes. Despite simply being things like bubble gum or chocolate, it turns out that people who ate them as kids are about twice as likely to smoke real cigarettes as adults. This has resulted in them being banned as advertising tobacco products to children in a good number of countries. This add for nonalcoholic beer specifically saying that minors can buy it can easily be argued to be the same kind of thing, with the same kind of legal response. If consuming non-alcoholic beer as a minor results in significantly higher rates of alcohol consumption as an adult, then ads for non-alcoholic beer that target children, like the one shown, might be worth a ban.

You still have to be 21 to buy NA beer. Even if its 0.0, the stores will get in trouble for not carding.

Wtf is the point??

Is someone out there drinking Budweiser....for the taste?

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Is there a difference between Budweiser and having sex in a canoe? Nope. Both are fucking close to water.

They saw that younger people aren't drinking nearly as much, so they thought this might be a solution? Get kids used to the flavor earlier?

Sadly, I'm sure there are plenty of shitty parents who would buy this for their kids.

It says on the bottle not to be consumed by those under legal drinking age.

Just what we always wanted.

The enjoyment of beer without all that pesky euphoria.

"Great for drivers!" If you still want to smell like alcohol when you get pulled over but without having drank any.

[–] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah, teach them kids to drink from a young age, i'm sure it will be good for them

I still get carded often when I buy NA beer. Often the cashier will even acknowledge that it's NA but say that they still have to card me.

Now we just need a platform for kids to gamble away their crayon colors so that they’re ready to do the same with their very first paycheck.

Not only 0% alcohol, also 0% taste and 0% beer. There are great alcohol free beers out there btw. This ain't it.

[–] Blanka@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

If you try them in Europe they are great. And even there underage kids are not allowed to buy them
