Disappointed

A local park used AI in their promo page for their event, I get that paying artists to design special posters can be expensive, but this is disappointing regardless.

I wish more people were aware of the negatives of using AI, such as the drastic consequences it has on the environment, and stealing art from actual artists.

Imagine they commissioned someone to draw and create a poster, they could’ve promoted creativity in an individual, lifting them up as well as showing they support effort and design.

I get it can be a little more expensive and time consuming, but I feel like they made enough from this event that they would’ve made back the money they paid to commission someone.

I’m not trying to attack this place, I appreciate the effort they put into organizing a fun event. This is more a comment for future places, and to hopefully bring awareness to AI use.
