Ah this is a great post, thanks for sharing this. I completely agree with you!
Fun anecdote related to the first point about AI posters etc: my non-technical mother and her group of elderly Mahjong friends, who don’t care about or are completely ambivalent about AI, ate at a small restaurant in their town recently, and they were confused and annoyed by the new menu that was one of those maximalist and grotesque one-shot cheap model designs. Now it’s spoiled for her and she notices the awful styles everywhere in person and online. So I do think the tide there must be turning soon, at least against that minimal effort slop ad/menu copy
I love the Eno quote, I think I’ll check out that diary
