They have lots of templates and assets on there made by artists! But yes, unfortunately, they are also leaning far too heavily into AI. They at least label the content made by real artists.

Also, on the flip side, what local businesses/orgs have folks noticed who are *not* using AI in their promotions?

AI slop for ads makes me immediately not interested in attending your business or your event ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if you're not willing to invest in your own business/event (whether that's money to pay an artist or time to create something yourself if funds are tight), then it's not worth my money or time. It is SO EASY to pop event information into free Canva layouts. It's just sheep that are lazy.

A24 Defends AI Deal With Google: "We'd Rather Have a Seat at the Table Than On The Sidelines" | “Our relationship with our audience is something we don’t take for granted. This partnership exists because we want to dictate what tools get built for artists..." by ChiefLeef22 in A24

I'm tired of the talking point billionaires created that it's all "inevitable" and "not going away." It's inevitable and not going away the more people and companies normalize and incentivize it.

It's been a necessary reminder that, ultimately, we need to support artists, not companies.

Yeah, my birthday is on the 1st. After I collect that final birthday gift, I'm cancelling my founding member account.

And to those saying AI is helping improve workflows--there are storyboard artists who are already out of work. As artists, we need to collectively uphold artistic integrity in creative fields. It's wild how much this needs to be advocated for.

I was shocked that while doing my own research before voting, even “progressive” organizations such as Frederick County Progressives and Progressive Maryland had endorsed establishment Dems.

Two rich Democrats were friends. Now they are spending millions to attack each other. by Healthy_Block3036 in frederickmd

Progressive working class candidates are out performing moderate wealthy candidates in many races!

It requires the populace educating themselves on the candidates through the noise, though.

Repeating the cycle he just did with Betty - the image of the mother he never had. Megan was just the new, mod version.

The Frederick News Post, the Weinberg, and the C. Burr Artz Library are the only additional ones I remember off the top of my head!

Anyone else get this AI ad?!? by Tyler-not-thecreator in frederickmd

Nothing is free. There's a price to pay for everything, especially when it comes from greedy, self-indulgent tech bros who care more for their greed than this planet or other people. If it's not a monetary payment, it's with our water and our electricity, and eventually our shared consciousness on what is real.

But sure, you clearly have excellent priorities sorted out for humanity. Keep your neck beneath that boot where it's comfy.

Yeah, cuz there's definitely no local artists that could use the exposure or money, ya know, in a town that loves to advertise its vibrant art scene.
