I'm mostly seeing the impact of GenAI images in everydays life for example in the small posters small associations or individuals usually attach on streets to promote some small local event. We went from just text created with PowerPoint and maybe some stock image just a Google search away to now images depicting the topic closely. But yeah, it's not like a revolution.
And this personal media thing, yeah maybe for terminally online persons that are REALLY into a sub-genre but otherwise, it's too much effort, I agree. Until we get machines that can read our (subconscious) mind, that will not exist.
- morbicer 2mo agoI yearn for the old days of bad photoshop/wordart/powerpoint flyers. They were visually bad but honest and sometimes soulful or playful. The AI slop that's everywhere now looks superficially more professional but it's very busy, samey, unnatural and it really turns me off.
- artisin 2mo agoI don't want to say this is indicative, but my local library used AI-generated event poster/images for the past year. But recently they switched back to word/clipart event posters. When I was checking out, I query the librarian about it, and apparently they saw a 40-60% drop in attendance. On one hand, I found that hard to believe, but on the other hand, simple word/clipart event posters do have a certain inviting charm about them.
- darkwater 2mo agoI think that word/clipart posters make it clearer the date and time, with GenAI material you end upo adding a big colorful image that takes most of the space and relegate the important bit to a second place. At least that's what I see around me.
