man if the flyer is AI I'm just going to assume the whole thing is a slop fest.

if the flyer is AI it's full of MLM shit and should (probably) be avoided. unless they bring back tualatin i'd go back for a crawfish hat

rule #3 of festivals. rule #1, don't be a creep, rule #2, bring lots of water

Why not just ask an artist to make the flyer?

When I was at a zoo, I don't remember where, they had AI-generated posters featuring animals that they had in the zoo.

Probably because the artist won't do it for free or it's just easier to type a prompt.

I'm not saying that's better, I'm just saying why it's happening.

if they want an almost free artist they could be really exploitive and ask a student, who would be ecstatic to do a thing for a real event for cheap

Someone said on another comm:

Those last two panels (with blank flyer) are a meme template biding its time.

It's basically the "see something, check it out, reverse car" meme but more succinct

you would probably think no one is dumb enough desing an art event flyer with slop but hold your horses, a close friend of mine did this! and I had the same reaction back then

I think this might be the first pizzacake comic I've seen where removing the drawings would actually remove information. Normally she'd have a big speech bubble in that third panel explaining in increasingly large text that she doesn't like AI slop. Maybe she was in a hurry?

You're joking, right? Its so well-known that actual artists don't like AI generated art aka slop. Her facial reaction and literal job as a cartoonist & artist speaks volumes. No speech bubble required here.

Reread what I posted. I wasn’t saying she should do it, I’m saying that it’s a departure from her usual format of a panel or two of her strawman saying a thing, and then a panel or two of her winning an argument with them.
