You seem to think design is mere flourishing, nice colors to make something pleasant to look at, but ultimately superficial and useless. I would strongly object to that--visual presentation can carry a lot of additional information, and improve the transmission as well. Giving more people the ability to present information well leads to more efficient communication, which I wouldn't just dismiss this easily.

But there isn't any extra information in AI posters. It's necessarily either something that can already be conveyed in writing (that is after all, what they're prompted in), or something the AI pulled in based off of the text unintentionally, at which point no actual information is being conveyed by the added visuals.

		I think you need to remember that most people have no eye for design, and that includes even just presenting the essentials of an event in text. And AI can actually do it much better than the average idiot. Of they ask. Like, if you ask - "here's the event details, let's make a poster" in the right way, it's going to come back and say "you've supplied the venue name but not the street address, do you want to include that?". And then it'll lay the info out with generally sensible relative sizes and positions, better than the average idiot would. And, probably about equally as well as the average "I'm not a designer but I know a bit" amateur - and a lot faster. The catch there is that the idiot only gets this if their prompt is right - and since they're an idiot, it probably isn't. I think there's a gap in the market for a service with system prompts that make it work for people who don't think very hard. (That might be what, say, Canva Pro does with its AI features. I don't know because I'm not paying for that.)
