four frame comic.
first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won’t go to your event if the poster was made by AI.
second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won’t read your post or email and I won’t watch your video if they were made with AI.
third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won’t patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI.
last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can’t take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?


That’s probably the way things are going. All of the decoration on everything you get in a store will be AI generated. Personally, I would like it if the packaging looked little more than like what I imagine 1940 military food rations did: plain tin cans and brown paper packaging with nothing but a description of the contents in plain black lettering. You could have a photo of the contents but that’s it. That might sound depressing, but is it more depressing than decoration meant to get you to buy, buy, buy? Alright, I guess the decoration is also for branding, but you can do that with black lettering too.
When I was a kid we would shop at the commissary and there was an entire row filled with nothing but labels with blue stripes. I need that to come back.
