To me, this is a valid use for AI. You can get a decently professional looking poster made inexpensively. Inexpensive is what small businesses need, and this way, they can compete with the big guys. Their only other options are to pay big bucks that they might not be able to afford or make their own, which will likely look crappy. I'm fine with it.
Our local high school uses AI to make posters for sports events and I'm cool with that too. I'd rather they use AI to make posters than to use their budget on someone to make it professionally.
I think the students should be making that? Isn't there an arts department? Or a student government?
But it's not. Posters for a high school don't need to look professional. They need to be done by someone learning to use their skills to make cool looking posters. AI poster look fucking ass.
In my experience school posters are made by the one person in the front office who knows a few basic bits of MS word.
Except they're not doing this. They're using the first piece of crap that ChatGPT spits out and throwing that up, and it's clearly, obviously AI-generated, which is incredibly off-putting.
