"Hey if this is your flyer, I’m not going, I’m not donating, I’m not sharing. Don’t ask me."

Once you notice a ChatGPT flyer, you will see them everywhere if you keep your eyes open. The art of the format is basically big, flashy bright text on dark background and an AI-generated or AI-altered image. There is almost universally a little box of generic icons in a bulleted list vaguely tied to whatever event or business it’s advertising, lines coming off of the text to emphasize whatever it’s saying, and either bolded words or underlined text and tons of arrows and checkmarks haphazardly strewn throughout. It is easier to just show you what they look like than describe it, because they all look basically the same…

    And they have info which may or may not be correct, and are often missing critical information.

    I just saw one for a restaurant “open 12-8” and underneath that it said “breakfast special 7:00-11:00: eggs and ham” or whatever, but the times didn’t line up.

    It’s interesting just how many people are completely unaware of details.

    Paywalled and they have a link to the image source since the version on the page is a bit low res but it links to FaceBook.

    Clearly they don’t understand they’re part of the problem by using FaceBook.
