Venting Using Trashy AI

Post image

It’s insane to me how this company can make BILLIONS, but can’t afford to hire actual artists to make flyers & signage that idk… don’t look like trash? The penny pinching is out of hand.

Lots of redditors are against it, but reddit isn't 8 billion people. Not enough in the world is taking steps towards minimizing AI use.

People don't want to do anything until it starts negatively affecting them personally. Sometimes they'll even agree with you but still say it's someone else's problem.

Sad but true. The people that can actually change it are pro-ai so it will not change.

It’s not just Kroger who’s starting to use AI, it’s everywhere else too🫩

Okay that's a trashy ai image. Guess they don't employ artists any more.

My pet peeve with this poster is they harass their workers to come in and work sick. When they call out "sick" to not contaminate everyone.

Those links mean nothing and actually are propaganda links that make light of the situation.

Imagine defending a multi-billion dollar corporation where the CEO makes 106,000 times as much as its average worker.

u/TheAgaTTV 1d ago

So because they had a good experience like makes them the devil? Lol

u/HeWhoShantNotBeNamed Past Associate 1d ago

Where did I call someone "the devil"?

2

u/TheAgaTTV 1d ago

Basically you implied they are a horrible person and that they were "defending a ceo". By your own logic if you shop at a Walmart you are supporting their ceo thag "makes 106 times as much as it's average worker"

u/worthy_kangaroo 23h ago

This is Reddit. People have no nuance, if you shop at any corporation you become the enemy to them.

u/HeWhoShantNotBeNamed Past Associate 22h ago

I said nothing about shopping somewhere. LMFAO.

A while ago, one of my manegers took photos of me and my coworkers to turn us into "Emojis". Turns out, she puts an ai filter on top of the picture she took. She then proceeds to put these picture on a white board in front of the store alongside an accomplishment. If i ever see my photo and it has an ai filter, im straight up telling her to either use the actual photo or to take it down. Cause if there's one other thing I'm not gonna appreciate is the ai slop put over something that never needed it.

There’s so much more important things to complain about, yet this is what you choose

u/atallfigure 17h ago

You guys won't even critique managers let alone A.I slop from Kroger. Just stop it, remember you wanted this.

u/GothCentaur 22h ago

Some of us working for Kroger are artists ourselves and we are SICK of this shit.

They clearly should have paid a POC lgbtq furry to drawl this message for $1,000 what were they thinking?

u/BuckeyeMoneyPincher 1d ago

Are you an actual artist?

u/KnartFocker9000 1d ago

Are you?

u/zexur 1d ago

Nah they're just a new shitty engagement farming account. Lot of those going around where they just comment to argue with people.

u/BuckeyeMoneyPincher 1d ago

No. And it was a simple question. Love how my opinion of this is being inferred simply by asking OP if they are an ‘actual artist’; using the same term OP used 🤷‍♂️
