AI fails

You'd be surprised. At some point there was a very popular burger restaurant in Tehran called Big Boi.

Gotta be an Oukast fan who started that.

Could be.

That is 100% AI.

But who the hell calls a Lebanese restaurant "Chez Jolene"?!

Yeah, I know the poster is, but the "£10 POUNDS" might be the input text.

Aye. Which any designer worth anything would be able to see.

AI can get in the bin.

Quite so. I help with a professional PR person on posters for the orchestra I play in: we commissioned a firm to come up with a properly designed format with ident & fonts, for which she then chooses real photos to drop in and overlay text. And we ping it to and fro for proofing.

A Lebanese Jolene? There's one in London. There's lots of French stuff in Lebanon.

Again, as it should be. I learned pretty early doors that design by committee doesn't work.

Speaking of which, this is the local printer/designer about 50 yards from where I live...

He's still going so fair play, but what he displays in his window has gradually changed from properly made things to this nonsense.

I know. It just seems a weird name to me as the Lebanese places round me all have more "traditional" names.
