> using ai to help create ads for your business

whenever i see this i drives me away, i'd rather buy from a business that drew stick figure ads by hand. funniest thing i saw was an ai food ad and someone asked if the ai makes the food as well. the staff were actually miffed lol.

Saw AI food pics on most stands at a festival recently. Real uncanny valley horrors that tell you nothing about what you are actually going to get. Unfortunately, as with most enshittification, normies don't seem to care.
