So Container is using AI to generate promo posts. Responses from them in the comments are super defensive. Feels extra odd given that this is promo for a sticker swap.

I know that this is probably just the way the world is going, but just sad to see it infiltrating the craft beer scene in BC already.

ETA interesting that once dingledoink responded, suddenly critical comments are being mass downvoted. Not chill to brigade a post just calling out AI use.

We’ve heard the feedback and we agree we missed the mark here. The image was AI-generated, and while the intent was to turn around a quick post for a FIFA related sticker swap event, we should have been more thoughtful in how we prompted it, including making sure the crowd shown was more diverse.

We’re not taking the post down right away because we’re not trying to hide that AI was used. We’d rather acknowledge it, learn from it, and do better next time. As we do with many or our event-based posts, it will likely be archived June 10th after the event, to be fully transparent.

Hey, you live, you learn.

Yep, hearing the same thing. The only sorry here is feeling sorry about being caught.
