Well what's better ? I have so many pictures of posters of old events or storefronts saved on my phone because they were so astronomically bad it'd have been better to not have any poster at all. Today's AI makes it look even worse but I'm hopeful that in five years we'll all live in a world generally more agreeable to look at and not "concrete with pink and yellow fluo paper smashed on top of it" like https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/music-poster-wall.html or https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/france-poster-wall.html?ps... because the cost of making things enjoyable with more colour and detail will have come down. Maybe we can finally go back to Art Nouveau if the cost of making it comes down!

For what it’s worth i think the Bi Nuu poster you share here as reference for something badly designed looks really cool.

Poster design like any visual or artistic field will always cater to conflicting individual tastes - for some it looks great, others hate it.

I like Art Nouveau but a lot of stuff in that style looks kitschy to me.

Your links are supposed to be examples of bad posters? They're awesome!

Sorry buf I'd take these posters over your “generally more agreeable ” homogeneous slop literally any day.

As I said, "Today's AI makes it look even worse". But the post makes me hopeful than in a couple years, actually good graphic design can come out from AI. It still looks terrible and AI even for the best posters it highlights, but noticeably less than the random ice cream or coffee shop where I live with fully ai-generated interior design, memorabilia and menus.
