I don’t even know what it’s called, but I really hope it goes the way of Comic Sans

Edit: does anyone actually know what this awful font is called?

    To play devils advocate, I reopened Canva for the first time in forever.

    Anti Canva rant

    (Any service that could be free/no account, but wants an account is immediate red flag in my book. No one NEEDS an account to make a slideshow or poster. Plus I’m on the haveibeenpwned list of the 2019 data leak. But we 1 week away from the school Christmas concert, and the people in charge insist, )

    But when I opened the website, there isn’t a clear warning to say “hey, this font or image pack is AI” you have to read the fine print to know for sure.

    Canva itself advertises “hey, use our AI helper”, but for the 3rd party features? Up to the uploaded to say if its AI or not. (Still hate Canva though. Can’t wait for the concert so I can never open the website again)

      This is what annoys me on a lot of 3D asset websites as well. On steam you are supposed to declare if your game includes any AI generated assets and since there is pretty good evidence that that affects purchase numbers, I don’t want to include any. Trouble is, you don’t always know where everything is coming from.

      Most people probably wouldn’t care if some background rock was made by AI rather than the human artist, but it still technically breaking the rules, and I suspect that if someone were maliciously inclined they could really make a big thing of it.
