four frame comic.
first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won’t go to your event if the poster was made by AI.
second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won’t read your post or email and I won’t watch your video if they were made with AI.
third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won’t patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI.
last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can’t take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?


Note:
frames one and three should not exist anyway. They are advertising. It was already malign before generative AI.
And Hank Green, despite the morons trying to sound clever by saying he did, did not use an LLM to write the script for the insert segment in that interview. He used a phrase, which was already a common diplomatic phrase, in a completely normal way. The phrase has made its way into ShartGPT outputs because it was already common, and people desperate to seem like they aren’t fooled by LLM output are grasping at straws to find things to point at as ‘tells’ and turning into anti-tech-priests, consulting auguries to check for demons in the words of strangers.
There are no nice, neat tells. There are dozens of models, each with dozens of versions, each with some things that MIGHT serve as a tell, but you can’t keep track of them, and the right prompt will disrupt them enough to ruin the tell, so you can give up. You can’t reliably tell. That’s the whole point. Enjoy living in the derealized, boiling world our annointed leaders have made. Hug your loved ones.
Advertising as a concept is needed, though. Telling someone to come to your house on Friday is technically advertising.
We certainly need to regulate the shit out of mass advertising, but I always found the small flyer on a landline pole very homely.
Inviting someone over is not advertising.
Meets the definition. I just want to make sure we make distinctions between general ideas and why we actually hate the concept in the modern day.
An ad is an ad. It being a bad idea doesn’t change that fact 🤷
