These Are the Worst ChatGPT Flyers You've Sent Us

A 404 Media article collected reader-submitted examples of "ChatGPT flyers," AI-generated posters and advertisements that have appeared on social media, bulletin boards, restaurant menus, store signage, business cards, and billboards worldwide. Readers expressed strong hatred for AI-designed signs, with one stating, "They look like absolute DOG SHIT. Like my cat's litter box! I freaking HATE THEM." Another reader noted that in the last several months, local groups churning out AI-generated flyers has "gotten out of control." The article presents a small sampling of the worst flyers received, biased toward those that appeared in real life or are particularly weird. Examples include a table card at a local Mexican joint in rural Ohio, a flyer from New Haven where a reader is a "de-facto AI spotter," and a flyer from Altadena, California, where "Use of generative AI in my town proliferated after it was destroyed by the Eaton Fire. Eighteen months later, 2 out of 3 Altadenans are still displaced." Another example features a city and its parking authority marketing a public engagement event for a new mural, despite the city having no human Comms team. One flyer is noted for having many beer company logos that are wrong.
