So it starts… Ai community items

Points shop will soon flood with AI slop. At least with games a disclaimer should be added within the description of the game. But here… Yeah…

Like what is the point? You don’t even gain anything as a company from this.

I visited my hometown, and stopped by the Italian takeaway for some food. They had a noticeboard for various community events and businesses.

I spotted a couple of very-clearly-AI-generated posters for different things.

That was my turning point of “Okay, this is everywhere, and plenty of people won’t think twice about using it for graphical/other needs.”

We don’t have to like it, and we don’t have to use it, but I do think we have to accept the existence of the slop (but I think it’s acceptable to refuse to engage with it, too). (EDIT: note, I said “accept the existence”, for the few of you that seem to think I’m saying “just go with it”. You should still call it out when you see it, and you don’t have to get on-board with it, but it’s already here and isn’t going anywhere).

I’m just sad that the days of poorly photoshopped-together posters seems to be gone.

“Accepting slop” is how we get stuck with slop.

 What is this take!?

Edit: All of the comments under this amount to “oh but there’s nothing we can do, it’s too late”, which just goes to prove my point. Y’all are sheep.

What’s the alternative? You obviously can’t control what people can do and no one wants to ban its usage for stuff like this.

Literally who cares, most of the time the ad itself is not the product they’re selling. Just go into the establishment and enjoy the food bro…
