A "ChatGPT flyer pandemic" has emerged, with AI-generated signs and advertisements flooding social media and real-life spaces like posters and billboards. The article notes examples including surf lessons in Venice Beach, a skateboard shop's closeout sale, party invites, concert posters, drug deliveries in Berlin, World Cup parties in France, junk hauling in South Carolina, and fundraisers in Texas. A viral Threads post read, "So ain’t nobody gonna address this ChatGPT flyer pandemic we’re in?" Another viral parody by Jill Oliver stated, "YOUR FLYER LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE... I’m not going, I’m not donating, I’m not sharing." The topic has become a major conversation among graphic designers, musicians, bars, and small business owners who value design and effort. The typical format features big, flashy bright text on a dark background, an AI-generated or AI-altered image, a box of generic icons in a bulleted list, lines off text, bolded or underlined words, and arrows and checkmarks.
