It’s certainly annoying and difficult to disagree, but it’s the “trendy new thing”. It’ll disappear in it’s current state then become something new. Whether for or against, I feel that it’s going to improve beyond the detectable stage soon, and what comes then is the conversation I feel is inevitable.
TLDR: It’s everywhere because it’s a trend, there will be pushback, then the tech will move into a new phase. What is the next phase?
No it’s not a trend but the tools will get better to the point where people won’t notice. Truth is design is expensive and difficult for many small businesses - so having all that for free is a great deal
Yeah also this thread is funny to me because it suffers from a thing I see on lemmy frequently, which is thinking that small business owners care at all what such a tiny microcosm of people like lemmy users care about. The vast majority of small business foot traffic is going off of word of mouth (in person or digital), advertising, or good reviews on aggregators like yelp or google maps, very little of their foot traffic comes from people just walking by and going “ew, AI ad, no thanks”
