AI generated visuals are becoming a signal of A) low-effort, B) and/or unwillingness or inability to spend resources to genuinely present your product or brand.

Both of these communicate that I will probably not get a good value for my money when buying your product or service.

The AI art is also a class/status marker.

If a business markets itself with these AIgen posters, you get wildly different responses from different groups.

boomers that spend all their time on Facebook will think “this is such a nice pretty poster” and be oblivious to the fact it is even ai. Even if they knew it was ai they don’t care.

Young people will think it is low class/trashy. Some hate it because it’s ai, others hate it because the poster is ugly/busy/confusing.
