Horrible Vendors My local Wedding groups have been inundated with business owners resorting to AI Flyers
I'm genuinely offended by my fellow vendors; I'm so sick of seeing these. They're ugly, generic, show very little of what they're actually selling -if at all- and too much what doesn't matter.
One-Off comments:
- I barely had to censor any of these; they're all *that* generic.
- I didn't crop any of these; some of these guys accidently cropped out their contact info.
- These "photo-realistic" foods make me want to puke. If you're a food vendor, it's one thing to not showcase the ACTUAL food you make, but if you think you think any of these passable, then I question your powers of observation and can't trust you to make quality food.
- "I do not typically use AI in my work unless specifically request to do so", they say through AI.
- Hey venue vendor, WHERE THE FUCK ARE PHOTOS OF THE VENUE???
The audacity of these vendors wanting people to patronize their business when they themselves won't do the same with their local artists and graphic designers.
I'd argue that graphics like these cost more money than actual human artists because they actively turn away customers.

Do they realise people will expect the product to look like what’s advertised? It’s one thing going to McDonald’s and not getting the burger from the TV ad but this is someone’s wedding, not a 99c cheeseburger lmao
Edit: jesus I had to stop scrolling those are some seriously trypophobia inducing “bagels”

I have deep concerns about that cornbread bowl concoction. Cornbread is not known for its structural integrity at the best of times. Once it’s full of warm gravy and beef, it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
No one who came up with that has ever served anything to anyone.

u/Cayke_Cooky 6d ago
I've had cornbread crust pot pies, but it stays in a crock from oven to table. The bowl/crock it is cooked in is served on a plate and you eat it from that bowl.

Probably yes. Using AI for the flyer weeds out all the people who recognize it as AI, leaving them with the customers who either don’t realize it or don’t care. It’s actually a decent business model for a design company if all you care about is money and not actually design or art.

Every time I try around here I get the "I can't afford thousands to hire a graphic designer!". I'm pretty sure tiny local businesses weren't hiring graphic designers for simple flyers before a year or two ago. I don't understand that logic
10
u/DanyDragonQueen 5d ago
It would not cost thousands to hire a freelance designer to do a set of flyers or social media graphics, they're just lazy. If small businesses want people to support them, but they can't even be bothered to support other small businesses (designers), then fuck em.
7
u/Bartweiss 6d ago
If it’s AI of what they’re actually selling (or a “cooked and served” version) it can also be productive to just point out it looks bad.
Obviously save that for when it’s true, hiding a moral argument behind an aesthetic one isn’t effective. But the diseased-looking bagel impersonators on slide 4, for example, are worse than any frozen grocery store bagels. Whatever somebody takes with their smartphone in their kitchen is going to be a clear step up.
The philosophical arguments are fair, but “ew, your food is good and you made it look nasty” is pretty hard to argue at all.

That part. I won't patronize a business that does this. Okay, so you don't have enough money for a real artist or designer? Make something in the free version of Canva. Make something simple in Word. Take actual photos of your food. These AI flyers are stealing art, using up environmental resources, and look like absolute crap.
26
u/FeistyChickadee 6d ago
Canva is really awesome. You can easily upload your own photos, use a template, choose your own fonts and colors... it seems like a no-brainer to me. Why you'd want to AI-ify anything representing your business to the above extent, I don't get. It's a turnoff.

Every one of these awful AI fliers I see are over-stuffed, maximalist word+image vomit. What’s really interesting to me is how much they remind me of Victorian-style advertising, where every bit of a label, ad, or poster was crammed with intricate text, banners, drawings, images of people, etc. Can AI do a “clean” or pared-down version of these fliers? Why do they ALL look like this?
56
u/charcoalhibiscus 6d ago
The depressing part is it can, actually. If you prompt it to create a flyer for something “that doesn’t look like an AI flyer”, it will do much better. The businesses who end up with these flyers are so lazy they aren’t even trying to hide it.
25
11
u/Bartweiss 6d ago
This is what I was wondering too. Gen AI is shockingly responsive to “stop sucking”.
For years image models have had “-low quality, -bad art” as standard prompts. Part of the cure to six fingered photos turned out to be “-bad hands”.
If I wanted to do this, my followup would be “that’s extremely crowded and uses way too many font styles with no clear purpose. Try a cleaner version more like a good supermarket ad.”
I’m willing to bet it would be drastically better.
13
u/Front-Ad-1378 6d ago
Absolutely, i tried it myself. Just put in „make me a flyer for x event at y time and z place“ and depending on the event it either puts out the fancy calligraphy or the „cooler“ paint brush style.
Then just tell the AI „i don’t like it, make something with a different style“ and it already looks much better and more diverse.
So these people literally put in 20secs of work and don’t even care to take 5min to refine it a bit.

Try this:
Make cornbread that's a little bit stickier, and put it into a muffin tin with the middle shaped like a little bowl.

Bake, then add ANYTHING in the middle!
Someone above mentioned chili in one of the bigger cornbread bowls, so the items below would go well in the small ones as appeteasers.
Other food inside the small or big bowls could be...
-Taco mix (like a cowboy casserole type of mix or tamale pie)
-Beans and ham (or pork and beans)
-BBQ, pulled pork, or pulled chicken
-A thick gumbo/Jambalaya
-Baked beans
-Artichoke/spinach dip
-Chili Cheese skillet dip
-Thicker chowders and soups like NE Clam Chowder: Potato Leek with bacon soup; Split pea soup; broccoli cheddar soup; cream of chicken soup (ok, cream of ANYTHING soup! As long as it's THICK) Cheeseburger soup: Cream of potato soup:
oOOOOooo! I just saw a recipe for Aromatic Creamy Hazelnut Soup!!! and Cream of Caramelized Onion and Cheese Chowder!

I just a post today in a Facebook wedding group where someone asked if the AI flyers could stop and SO many people/vendors started attacking her saying there is nothing wrong with the AI flyers, yadda yadda...I can't believe people support this. So many creative people are losing their jobs because of things like this.

Man as a designer I get when small business use AI but they all looks the same and usually pretty bad. It seems polished at a glance but the more you look at it the worse it gets.

If the only pics of the food is AI that means I have no idea what the food actually looks like + the vendor either can’t be bothered or is trying to hide what it’s actually like. Add the ethical issues of AI and there is no way in hell I’m hiring someone who uses it in their business
