<![CDATA[Does anyone have a handy quick reference article clearly stating that most people hate AI generated images, it's not just me?]]>Does anyone have a handy quick reference article clearly stating that most people hate AI generated images, it's not just me? I need something I could use to convince a local community group I'm involved in not to go down the AI generated graphics route. The people involved are perhaps slightly older, discovering the ability to make flyers with any image they want on and think it's great, I need to be able to say it's not just me being a perfectionist, this is going to alienate more people than it attracts. TIA.

Being forced to use something doesn't make it good or mean that people want it.

"You have only selected this tool because you haven't spent the time to develop skill/taste in this area. Other people can tell and it turns them off. You're wearing an off the shelf prom dress to the met gala"

and if that metaphor doesn't land you've got real problems, idk, you can ask them how they would feel if the grocery store or an orchestra played dubstep?

If you hover or click on the mark, a blurb opens which explains how the image was identified. https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a6282984

I see the mark and skip the post together because I hate to see AI generated images in anything I read.

The moment that AI image lands in an instant messenger (popular way to transfer files across devices!) all metadata is gone. Posted on social media? Metadata stripped, especially for thumbnails. Right click -> Copy Image? Reconstructed anew from raw pixel data, no metadata to be seen. Also it’s a PNG now and at least twice as large in file size. I’m not even getting into screenshots.

Really unless the AI user goes out of their way to carefully preserve the exact file data this metadata is just gone. A non-techy user isn’t even going to know that “image metadata” is a thing to care about.

Not big success, but significative.

So machines and humans who can read the metadata will know for sure. Those who run automated filters to remove these images will not see them at all.

Also, plenty of free and inexpensive alternatives to LLMs such as licensed images, stock photos, free templates on Canva, and PhotoPea photo editor. I really hope you are able to convince them!

Reminds me of MS Office / MS Publisher and all the dreadful clip art falling into hands of small orgs (churches, scouts, clubs, schools etc) in 1990s. People that had only used typewriter and maybe CP/M or DOS with Wordstar or Wordperfect etc.
The novelty of the colour ink jet!
The novelty of all those fonts!
1992 etc.
No Internet for most for another 2 to 4 years. No graphic design or layout course experience.

The AI stuff is far worse!

If nothing else, convince them that in a world of samey, bland generated posters and flyers, something obviously human-made will really help their event stand out!
