Hate ai water consumption? Hire an artist! My hyper focus and coffee addiction leaves me chronically dehydrated so I guarantee I’m consuming less water.

Let me hold your hand when I say this: Everyone hates your ai flyer. I’ve now lost complete interest in your product/company/event. If you are a food truck this makes me think your kitchen is filthy because if you are too lazy to have a proper menu made you are also too lazy for other things.

I’m going to say this once: I’m never taking a commission, collab or design work where the brief given to me is ai generated. I already know what your standards and aesthetics are based on that lazy amount of effort and I’m not interested. If your event flyer is ai generated I’m not going.

We're seeing generative AI in more fliers and ads around Japan. The trend is negatively impacting artists, with 20% of manga artists and illustrators saying it's cut their income: buff.ly/zhzLtmx

Quick PSA. Looking at you, local orgs and small businesses.

Crudely drawn bunny character holding a pencil, messy hand lettering surrounds them in orange to green gradient color. It says in all caps:

Stop using AI for your flyers & logos! They look like shit, everybody thinks so! Seriously, you’re losing business. Just make it yourself or hire a real artist.

I wonder which part is their favorite? Is it the absolutely decimated forest and air filled with ashes or was it men digging bastardized copies of warriors out of actual slop that did it for them?

Nothing says micro penis quite like violating a bunch of artists and bragging about it. Way to go out of your way to find people vehemently against what you are doing to make the violation worse.

Let’s normalize refusing to participate at or attend events and conventions that do this.

Cat in disbelief. Text reads if you are asking artists/artisans to vend at your event with an ai flyer that tells me all I need to know about you and how much you value what I do.

I need you all to do me a favor and start reading books. It can be anything but pick something up. The classics can be daunting for some try it anyway. I don’t care if you can only do a paragraph before taking a break. Socials damaged our brains. Please start retraining them before the rot spreads.
