All three winners had simply uploaded photos of their desks to an AI image generator and had it add flags etc to decorate and submitted that.

i think as the novelty wears off on the average person, it’ll probably be seen akin to stick figure drawings in the future

#14The poster: https://cdn.saffire.com/images.ashx?t=ig&rid=OhioStateFair&i... Note the pigs are numbered 1, 2, 1. And the gondola with a floating cable and another that terminates at a tent top.
What’s more interesting is that whomever the judges were didn’t seem to notice or care.
It was only until afterward were they upset

#15extremely noticeably so, too. A shame that the judges arent equipped to notice this sort of thing: the winning entry is pretty clearly the sort of result you get with a first naive attempt of "make a poster" with no style guidelines at all.

#16Think of all the poor typography around you. If you have a critical eye and care you can spot all sorts of bad choices: That's a preview of the future. AI-generated disposable art (posters, billboards, menus etc) that is orthogonal to the actual thing being sold will continue being the norm.

i think over time, the bar will rise, you’d have to imagine how low quality the submissions prior to AI would’ve been since most people aren’t that good at decorating nor have the time i think as the novelty wears off on the average person, it’ll probably be seen akin to stick figure drawings in the future

But after a bit more time spent using it, and working with the culture, right-thinking and socially aware people really ought to develop a sense that what was superficially impressive is the same each time. The first poem is the same as the hundredth, the pictures all look the same. And they start to think about the lack of effort, the fact that anyone can "make" them, and that everyone has the same ideas, and they quieten down.
The only people left using it are the next generation of clueless/naive, and those who are shameless - trying to use it to grift the remaining clueless. Unfortunately the inherent speed of the technology makes these shameless few able to be VERY loud across the internet. I have yet to meet one in person
