\stolen off a friend. This is so true. Got a flyer from our local little theatre about a Gilbert & Sullivan production they're staging. Was mildly interested until I realised it was all done with AI slop. It went in the bin.
An anti-AI post that reads: Your AI event posters: - use fake fonts that cannot be read easily by the visually impaired or those with Dyslexia. - are crowded and over-stimulating, hiding the important details and information. - use mixed, muddied, and unappealing colors. -are hated and ignore by the younger generation, artists, and environment activists. I made this poster in 20 minutes. It's clear, concise, and easy to read. Intent matters, your vent matters. Stop the slop. Artists against AI.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
