What the backlash against AI posters gets wrong
['Guest Contributor', 'Mandisa Rasmeni']

By Paulina MosesThere is a particular strain of online hate reserved for AI-generated posters, and it is not vague.
The AI poster generators that get mocked online skip that step entirely – prompt in, “finished” design out – and it shows.
Good prompting is editing before you have written anything – anticipating ambiguity, specifying tone, constraint, and audience before the machine ever gets a chance to guess wrong.
That is the real dividing line; not AI users versus non-users, but people who are fluent versus people who are fumbling.
The hate aimed at AI posters will settle, the way dust does after the wind moves on.
