Let’s play 2 truths and a lie
1. We support local businesses who USE Ai…
2. Ai really is destroying lives.
3. The locals who badmouth other local businesses generally don’t know the cost of running business.
——— give up?
2 is false, and if that offends you, YOU are the problem.
Point 3. Business owners already have a ton to deal with: production, gathering supplies, staff, trainings, overhead, taxes, distribution, utilities, POS systems; all of this BEFORE they consider getting outside help (design, artwork, marketing-yes even us too). But each thing mentioned is a cost that has to be carefully calculated, otherwise even your favorite local business starts to suffer.
Point 1. We get it, it’s not personal and you have our respect. Good on you for taking it upon yourself. That being said… its effectiveness for your business is only as much as your creativity… seriously, if we see one more landscaper/serviceman/junk hauler say- come on just check the photos, slap anyone’s label on there and there you go…
Sigh… look we wanna help you. It’s not even about the money at this point… we just hate YOUR Ai slop.
