If the AI makes a “better” poster that everyone hates because it’s AI, and a person makes a “worse” poster that everyone likes because it’s human, isn’t the business better off with the “worse” poster?

I think the issue there is that, in the absence of the AI poster, people will still dislike the "worse" poster.

Since this is idealogical, a business owner's choices are: * use AI and some people hate it on principle, don't use AI and don't pay enough and some people hate it because it looks cheap, don't use Ai and pay a bunch more and people don't hate it...maybe, depending on style and skill of the artist.

As a business owner, it's not an encouraging situation.

You could, of course, prompt the AI to produce a poster in the style of the "worse" human poster, and see where that gets you.

I suspect it would do quite a convincing job.

Though it's fairly unconvincing at handwriting.

No. There is a limit. Most non-trained people don’t know how to draw a straight line or layout type. If you go to a restaurant and see a poorly laid out menu you often think of the food more negatively. I think that the opposite is true too. If you go to a hole-in-the-wall restaurant and see a menu that looks like it was generated by a top New York design firm you will also think negatively because is it inauthentic.

It's not everyone though.
