This one has AI generated elements like a paintbrush and paint roller, plus the same very generic yellowish hue that a lot of AI art has now. Looking closely at the letters and you can see the font isn't very clean looking. It's hard to describe, but nobdy would make a font like this. It's all capital letters but they don't feel like they belong together. Straight edges aren't quiet straight, letters have weird bumps on them, etc.</a></label><br><a href="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/250/667/586/853/330/original/c9af2044c60857ec.jpeg" rel="external">https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/250/667/586/853/330/original/c9af2044c60857ec.jpeg</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/5248239">A close up of an AI generated poster. The letters have this weird inconsistency to them, for example all of the "E"s look slightly different than each other. Some of the letters disappear at weird points, like part of an "N" is missing. There's a weird white glow around the letters that doesn't look on purpose. It looks like a compression artifact where the dark blue font couldn't blend properly with the yellow background.</a></label><br><a href="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/250/676/296/572/096/original/0e53d052a3099ca2.jpg" rel="external">https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/250/676/296/572/096/original/0e53d052a3099ca2.jpg</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>
