Interesting that the thread is filled with people saying using AI to make a flyer is fine because the person making the flyer doesn’t have the time, skill, or budget to do anything more than some text and clip art.
Doesn’t that argument literally apply to everything AI is used for? Isn’t AI literally being marketed as the tool to use to do the thing you don’t have the time, skill, or budget to do?
Someone doesn’t have the time, skill, or budget to make a nice looking website? Just use AI. Someone doesn’t have the time, skill, or budget to make a nice looking menu for their restaurant? Just use AI.
Why does that argument work here but not for everything AI is used for?

I would have to agree that AI has valid use cases, this seems like one. My issue with AI is people’s insistence on trying to shoehorn it into everything and then using it (just because it’s there) to churn out shite, like the phone queen example the op gave us.

It’s always someone saying, “AI is fine to use if you use it for [skill that is outside my wheelhouse], but you shouldn’t use it for [skills I depend on to make a wage].”
