I wanted a 2000s/ASCII-era vibe sign to put up when I have extra bread to give away, and my wife came through in spades

I like it a lot, gonna tile it onto four pages and call it a day

Edit: I completed it with a small handwritten note at the bottom:

    Yes and the proper response is “nice sign” not “let me ignore your effort and remind everyone that AI permeates everything including a topic trying very hard to avoid AI”

    I’m saying some people are so obsessed with AI that they have literally absorbed it into their personalities, and that is as annoying or worse than just scrolling past slop like advertisements.

      You’re just seeing one comment out of a person’s day, how do you know someone pointing that out spends even five minutes a day thinking about AI? And anyway, many people come to social media and especially the fediverse with the intention of discussion the primary issues of our time, one of them being AI, and a style using wordart like this image probably became a highly upvoted post at least in part because of people being sick of AI flyers.

      People “obsessed with AI” usually are concerned with the greater issues related to it, like the fascist tech-corpos taking over our government and economic systems, which is a hard thing to not agitate against when you are aware of what’s going on.

          Fair enough, I do agree there are enough things going on that you shouldn’t hyperfocus on AI. It’s hard to avoid though, it’s prevalent and irritating.

            If i may, my thinking with the “still better than AI” comment/mentality is that it makes sense to say that when the human made thing is bad.

            Like, if a person makes something that’s shit, it’s still better than AI. But in this case, what the human made was SPECTACULAR, so in my mind saying it’s still better than AI doesn’t make sense because that’s self-evident

              True it is a beautiful creation! I had a thought about AI when I saw it, but more like “see, that’s gorgeous, clearly digitally handmade, simple and informative and no AI needed!!” Like it just illustrates how much better a flyer could be and how unnecessary relying on AI image generation is. Where I’m at I see AI used all the time for posters and it gives me a gross feeling.
