four frame comic.

first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won’t go to your event if the poster was made by AI.

second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won’t read your post or email and I won’t watch your video if they were made with AI.

third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won’t patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI.

last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can’t take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

    frames one and three should not exist anyway. They are advertising. It was already malign before generative AI.

    Advertising as a concept is needed, though. Telling someone to come to your house on Friday is technically advertising.

    We certainly need to regulate the shit out of mass advertising, but I always found the small flyer on a landline pole very homely.

        describe or draw attention to (a product, service, or event) in a public medium in order to promote sales or attendance.

        Meets the definition. I just want to make sure we make distinctions between general ideas and why we actually hate the concept in the modern day.

              You don’t see the contradiction in those two concepts? I was hoping you’d take a look and figure it out but let me explain, and hope you get it.

              ‘Telling someone to come to your house’ specifies someONE to whom you are directing the invitation. Public communication is broadcast communication, not in the sense of radio waves but in the sense of ‘casting’ (throwing out) the media to a ‘broad’ (non-specific) audience. You are trying to combine two contradictory levels of specificity.

                You don’t see the contradiction in those two concepts?

                No, not really.

                I was hoping you’d take a look and figure it out but let me explain, and hope you get it.

                Why would I when you didn’t give me the same grace? from what I said upstream

                I just want to make sure we make distinctions between general ideas and why we actually hate the concept in the modern day.

                Well here we are arguing definitions and ideas and not the reasons within these modern ads are oppressive. Not talking about the algorithmic nature of mass surveillance and privacy breaches needed to power modern ads, but “no this ad is different” surface level thinking. But if you want to talk about it, so be it.

                ‘Telling someone to come to your house’ specifies someONE to whom you are directing the invitation

                Okay. make it a group you’re at. Throw a flyer on a telephone pole. Same deal. We had ads before the interet.

                You are trying to combine two contradictory levels of specificity.

                I don’t think the levels change the intent and definition of an ad. You want to tell people about a thing, you use something to tell them thing.
