I remember the early days of desktop publishing. Before that people couldn't easily use multiple fonts or sizes. After, at least for a while, everything looked like a ransom note.
Honestly if we brought back the ransom note aesthetic, people might find it a breath of fresh air compared to the low effort chat gpt posters they see today.
Been noticing every YouTube thumbnail with these boring designs. Like 80% of my feed uses these. All they do is change the color palette. Same brush stroke letters.
What I did is just turned off history and delete past history, disabled google-wide ad personalizations. It refuses to show me a front page and I do frequently clear YT and Google cookies using the icon in the address bar in my browser, but I don't end up in any weird niche recommended algorithms at least. The only sloppified thumbnails I ever click would be Legal Eagle.
Man, they do all look just like that. There's one promoting some kind of event on the college campus near me. Like, you couldn't find someone to design a poster on a college campus? It isn't a student group that made it, the university itself did.

My work unintentionally ironically used an AI flyer to promote an art show. Everyone in management is besotted with it.

There was a hideous copper to light blue gradient option that my school district loved

WordArt was art. This is AI slop.

Anyone got a version that doesn't require me to sign up?
