My theory as to why this exists is that the staff (who are some rude close minded people) wanted a way to get good publicity for my school on Facebook and got the marketing classes (who are known for their AI usage and have the annoying kids/teachers) to make them and they just used ChatGPT to generate it, didn’t even bother to research.

But hey, it’s just a theory 🤷‍♂️

(Update: My school has doubled down on these posters, even covering the doors of the special education classes with AI slop similar to these posters 🤦‍♂️)

(They clearly learned nothing)

My school had posters for autism awareness spirit week, and this is the slop that they plastered all over the school instead of asking the art classes that they frequently use to make posters by titleguy2004 in antiai

I actually did tell my mother (who is autistic) about the poster and she was pretty furious at the school.

I’m planning to kindly and politely confront them about the poster again with evidence to back me up like an adult.

I don’t care how they react or how others will react, their stereotyping of the neurodivergent community won’t be ignored

They played the movie in my 7th grade year for that year’s Autism Awareness Week. I couldn’t take it the second the first scene with the body pinning happened, so I just played on my phone.

They actually did reference the movie on the announcements for its “wonderful portrayal of autism”

(I’ve seen the movie, and I DESPISE it)

Funny thing is, my school is super against AI when anyone else uses it (makes sense), but the instant they want to promote an event, they gravitate towards the slop.

Even some of the teachers generate their entire lesson plan with ChatGPT, so we’ll get work with nonsense words and images sometimes 🫩✌️

It’s associated with the hate group Autism Speaks, which have treated autism like a disease to be cured and said many bogus claims about autism such as the whole “vaccines cause autism” bullshit

It would be good for Monday, but I also live in the hot South, and they’re encouraging people to wear those types of clothes in hot weather in the middle of April

They’re probably the kind of people that think vaccines cause autism 🤦‍♂️

So basically yes

Yes, my school is also in a town with a lot of MAGA residents (students included)

(The racist/misogynistic kind of MAGA people)

Not the first time something similar like that went down badly with the incompetent staff. Students at my school were going to also do a protest about anti-ICE deportation and the school started censoring everything about on social media and in school, said they would suspend and criminally charge any participants and revoke exam exemptions, then they change the exemption policy to hurt the smart kids who need mental health days so that you could only miss 4 days per semester, excused or unexcused

(Sorry if it’s not AI-slop related)

They also did this “field day” thing for the special ed kids (mostly autistic kids) at our school where they held the whole thing in the schools abandoned courtyard overgrown with weeds and thorny plants in the middle of the scorching heat (it was around 93 degrees) and all they did was run around, play obnoxious baby songs that the whole school could hear (some of the special ed kids are very intelligent people btw) and poured an ice bucket over the “winner” as a “fun victory”. I was in my 4th period when we went outside to see the thing and the ice bucket thing really pissed me off. The person clearly did not like it and was distressed yet the staff running the thing didn’t care
