It’s always that fucking cataract filter all over everything!

    I have coworkers who use generative AI for flyers and such. They all have a similar look.

    As a guy who can make flyers in Publisher (or PowerPoint or even Word) and Pages (Apple’s version of Word/Publisher), it’s kinda sad to see. I can understand the aversion to clip art, but AI slop is way worse.

    What’s crazy is that they actually have an employee (me) who can do the thing, and I often have the time to do it. But, it’s not like I get paid less when they use AI to make a flyer.

      I’m a sysadmin and wanted a simple icon for a custom script/utility for a program.

      I tried to use an LLM make a logo based on the original program logo (provided) and either gears or tools.

      Holy crap the output was such garbage.

      “Garbage in. Garbage out.” I thought so I tried to prompt engineer that shit and 30 min later it was still garbage.

      I just used powerpoint and clipart to make one in 15 minutes…

        I don’t understand why people struggle with vector graphics. The gipity don’t even give you organised vectors. People are really fucking themselves in the long run. That is why the gipity is used for scamming because those turds don’t care.

      I finally convinced a colleague that a bulleted list with a JPG at the top makes a better flier than the slop she generated for the same event last year.

      We fuckin’ ran out of fliers this year.
