People Hate AI Art
AI art for key visuals signals low social literacy, and the author says audiences usually read it as a negative on sight.
What Matters
- A T-Rex thumbs-up prompt became the test case for why AI art triggers instant eye-rolls.
- The core claim: using AI images for presentations or blogs sends a bad signal, even when harmless.
- Best case, viewers don’t care; common case, they think less of you.

Alternative 1: a lazy
jspaint.appthumbs-up edit on a Jurassic Park Wiki dinosaur photo. - Alternative 2: hand-drawn doodles, especially if you can truthfully say a 6-year-old niece made it.
- Alternative 3: commission art; the post frames paying a professional as better than cheap AI.
- [HN: @kiba] Social proof matters: knowing an artist through Drink and Draw or a makerspace changes how art is received.
- [HN: @bluefirebrand] Prompting the AI may have taken longer than the crude MSPaint edit, undermining the efficiency claim.
