There aren't small problems in these posters though. They're huge, obvious, and an indicator that the one who made the flyer didn't care whatsoever.

When it includes an American Flag with more than 50 stars + the bottom row is cut off, you know they didn't even bother to proofread it.

This is the kind of garbage we're suffering with.

Those are, comparatively, small problems for the medium of a poster.

You have to understand that 99% of people who will see the poster will view it for <5 seconds. They wont sit there and count the stars.

And, of the people who do examine the poster closely, they’re looking at the text. They want to see the date, time, event details. The background is background.

You should try typing "American flag clipart" into Google and see non-AI images with the wrong number of stars.

These are small problems. Details, even. You can be quite successful and get all that stuff wrong. Not that I'd recommend it.

Not every poster has that issue as you can see from the posting. It is a simple matter of caring enough to look at the output in more detail. These are issues that can be overcome.

This is the important part. Right now, AI is a tool. You can use it to generate high quality output, or you can use it to generate slop. If the output is slop, that is a reflection of the person using the tool, not AI.

I get AI slop from employees sometimes. If they provide poor quality work that hasn't been proofread, that is an employee problem, not an AI problem.

True. But an organizer who doesn't care, will also not be willing to pay for good artwork. AI haters should put money where their mouths are and fund human top artwork.
