I wanted a 2000s/ASCII-era vibe sign to put up when I have extra bread to give away, and my wife came through in spades

I like it a lot, gonna tile it onto four pages and call it a day

Edit: I completed it with a small handwritten note at the bottom:

    It’s like a visual representation of the average persons William Shatner impression

          Think how awkward the room would be if you got a gift at a party and in front of everyone, holding up your new loaf of bread, you say, “it’s better than AI slop!!”

          People would just look at you… confused about the connection. Yes, breAd has an ‘A’ in it.

            The post isn’t about the bread though, it’s about the sign, made with love by a real person. Rarer and rarer these days

              Yes and the proper response is “nice sign” not “let me ignore your effort and remind everyone that AI permeates everything including a topic trying very hard to avoid AI”

              I’m saying some people are so obsessed with AI that they have literally absorbed it into their personalities, and that is as annoying or worse than just scrolling past slop like advertisements.

                “ignore your effort”? It’s the opposite, it’s praise for putting in the effort when that’s more optional than ever, that’s the whole thing.

                  No, if it was praise for the effort it would be literally praising the effort.

                  If a child walks up to you with a finger painting and says, “look at what I painted,” your don’t say “it’s better that AI slop”

                  You’re a monster who has been poisoned by AI to be the thing you hate, constantly thinking about AI slop.

                The context is very salient because so many people think that asking AI to make a sign is better than doing something handmade.

                The comment saying, hey everybody, look at this, this is better than those AI posters, is designed to counteract this notion.

                  Yes. I love your sign. The wavy text brings particular joy to me as I have many good memories of making ridiculous text effects.

            You’re missing the point. The original comment was about the sign, not the bread.

                You’re just seeing one comment out of a person’s day, how do you know someone pointing that out spends even five minutes a day thinking about AI? And anyway, many people come to social media and especially the fediverse with the intention of discussion the primary issues of our time, one of them being AI, and a style using wordart like this image probably became a highly upvoted post at least in part because of people being sick of AI flyers.

                People “obsessed with AI” usually are concerned with the greater issues related to it, like the fascist tech-corpos taking over our government and economic systems, which is a hard thing to not agitate against when you are aware of what’s going on.

                  Hah. Well, suggesting mental illness for my comments in this thread does have the waft of “not civil” which is rule 5.

                  Civility online is very subjective.
