The plague of AI flyers (sh.itjust.works)

I've been noticing a lot of event flyers with KEY information missing, like dates, costs, locations, etc.

I'm almost certain all these flyers are AI generated.

Here goes the process when you are creating a flyer like an old fuddy-duddy that knows how to connect to a 300 baud modem by whistling:

  1. You write all the key information down in a document.
  2. You double check all the key information in the document.
  3. You format and add graphics.
  4. Print.

But when you're using AI it's:

  1. Tell AI to create you a flyer with some information you type in randomly to see what it looks like.
  2. AI generates a flyer that looks pretty damn professional to you.
  3. Print without proof-reading or checking for complete information.

A second thing I noticed is AI-generated with BLANK spaces that you fill in with a pen before copying. What the fuck is that? You have a fucking billion dollar machine boiling a gallon of water so you don't have to write anything; why are you using a pen?

I swear to God, my boss made an Independence Day Barbecue Flyer using AI with

Location:_________ Date:___________ Cost:__________

printed and then filled in by hand.

Of course a work 4th of July Party isn't on a Saturday, so the big top banner says 4th OF JULY PICNIC and then he's scrawled in "Date: 7/2" and it all just makes no sense.


Today a buddy invited me to his Fourth of July Party with a text message JPEG flyer. Listed were the start of dinner, start of dancing, and start of fireworks, and the address. But when do I show up? Not listed.

Ugh.

Man I read this as “air fryers” and I was super hyped to read a tirade on air fryers.

AI disappointing me yet again.

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.
