Can we please stop making ChatGPT posters?

[PeonyRose8]

I appreciate a good poster- made by a human that comes out well. One I’ve never seen before. Ok maybe based on a word template but it’s nice.
a ChatGPT poster stands out a mile for me! It’s obviously ChatGPT. When I first saw one I thought ok it reminds me of a 90s football magazine (match! I think) but I said well done to its proud ‘creator’. They felt proud of their work.
now I keep seeing this 90s style poster everywhere! I cringe each time. Even my company is producing them!
just make your own poster!
anyone with me?

Yes! I noticed this lots of businesses keep having the same AI theme! Is there a new template out or something 🙈

Definitely not just you. My workplace only seems to make AI posters now. It smacks of laziness and not really caring about what they're advertising (ironically usually a wellbeing initiative)

I haven’t seen this - can you post a link?

Also , more importantly aren’t we destroying the planet using AI ?

I'm absolutely on the fence! Like you, I enjoy a good poster. But I'm good at making posters, sometimes with the help of a template. BUT I've seen others criticise the stuff I use AI for, saying essentially leave the creative stuff to people. But I'm not creative when it comes to writing, certainly not in my second language, I need a grammer (or grammar?) check, and I have this task that needs to be done and not much time and a million other things in my head.

I kind of agree with you but on the other hand there has been a marked improvement in the quality/spag of the posts since ChatGbt.

I guess AI is for people who can't string a sentence together without it but at least the quality of the english it produces is good.

I’ve seen these posters everywhere too! I’m also not a fan

Yeah I hate them. Id rather them write the menu on the back of a fag packet and take a photo and post that, than these AI posters telling you what the menu is.

And with Digital tax too.

Yes I have seen these posters everywhere too, all in exactly the same style you can spot them a mile off! Really dislike them.

Do you mean adverts on billboards? I cant say I've noticed. What I have noticed is that all cheap/scammy adverts online now look the same though.

They all look identical! As a graphic designer I beseech you all to stop “creating” these abominations!

As another graphic designer I second this sentiment. I had to show my colleagues the poster that the PTA at my son’s school ‘made’ for the Easter disco. It was just horrific 🤮

Seen loads on LinkedIn

They look so naff

but then companies would have to pay or have an employee use microsoft publisher etc or at least thats what i used back in the day to make posters.

Even a bog standard Canva template is a vast improvement

Yes! They’re awful. I too make posters for our PTA events but I use Canva & design them myself. Sometimes editing an existing template, sometimes making from scratch. These things all look the same & blend into one & it really puts me off the events they’re advertising.

It’s the height of laziness and puts me off attending an event.

Well done 🫶

In Charing Cross Hospital the pictures on the walls in the wards, side rooms and corridors are AI. I looked up the company which produces them and asked who the artists were - no answer. The pictures are in clinics, waiting rooms - a nice little earner.

I’ve noticed our village committee now uses AI for their promotional stuff. I have to say, it’s a marked improvement in their case.

I hate AI posters
I hate AI videos
I hate AI posts on social media.

basically I hate AI and I dread what the next 5 years will bring.

But, a small group like a PTA can get a fun colourful poster created for free. I can completely understand them doing that. Companies etc can sod off with it but a small group of volunteers can be excused.

Not everyone has the time or the inclination to create their own posters though. I don't need to make posters for anything anyway, but I might well use ChatGPT if I did because it would be so much quicker and easier. And yes, they might look a bit crap and obviously AI, but not every poster needs to be professional quality and if it does the job that it needs to do, that's enough.

Any business that uses these (lots of our local pubs have started it) instantly turns me off. They’re such bad taste and cheap looking. Has AI not heard of minimalism?
