LIKELY AI.

Below is the response from the store owner when asked if they would be pledging to not use AI.

Listen, I've seen your messages and many like them.

  1. We have almost 50 years experience in illustrator and graphic design, we are not >concerned with AI.
  2. No internet stranger, especially one who has not purchased from us, gets to dictate what >pledges we make or what tools we use.

Get serious.

We've got work to get back to.

Thank you, pointing a finger and just saying "AI?" is not constructive in any way. I think it has a negative effect on the the web in general as it normalizes just dismissing things. I realize you are saying that was not your intent but it's the culture it engenders. I appreciate you taking the time to elaborate your valid concerns and I think that has added a lot of value to the overall discussion.

Please do update me if they are willing to admit it is AI and I will be sure to note a warning in the main post.

I know this process is probably exhausting considering how easy it is to churn out slop, but it's necessary.

I completely understand and thank you for engaging in good faith.

Definitely part of the reasoning for my actions is that it is so overwhelmingly difficult to do everything needed in society these days. Take care of kids, attend to one's work duties, fulfill social obligations, take care of one's health, find time for fulfilling hobbies, all that. And then add on top of it all the incredible work it takes to be a conscientious consumer of products and participant in culture... It becomes overwhelming.

The extra burden of providing a nuanced response to perceived AI is onerous to me. It feels heavily burdensome. I guess there's a sweet spot I should seek. Food for thought for me. I bet there's a similar chain of thought for you in there somewhere.
