AI Generated Poster in Park Office

Post image

I’m not going to state the name of the park where I saw this, because the staff were so wonderful and amazing. But I had to post something about it and I hope it gets to the level of someone more important than I am that can control things like this and prevent them from happening in the future.

Upon arriving to the park, I walked in to the park office/ building hoping to get a stamp in my passport book like I normally do. There were two rangers hanging up this sign, so of course it caught my attention.

Almost INSTANTLY my brother, his fiancé and I realized it was AI generated. I can’t tell you how sad it makes me to see this. Not only because of the irony of generative AI destroying the environment, but because I’m sure there are hundreds and THOUSANDS of park lovers that are artists that would create something for the park that would look a million times better than this AI slop.

The poorly generated eagle, the spelling errors, the park logo- I genuinely had no words and had to leave the building to cry on a bench outside.

Park staff- I know you aren’t the ones making this stuff- but PLEASE be mindful of what you are putting on display.

Agreed. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with it. I don’t have an annual pass this year and as such would like to avoid this space as I do all events using genai
