When I was at mid michigan enchanted forest in July I found an anti AI at ren fair pin that I have on my brag rag now. AI is everywhere and I hate it.

i fear the ren fair is one of the FIRST places i’d expect AI. paying money to shop at a bunch of stalls with 3D printed crap and overpriced (fake) crystals? yeah they’re cheaping out the first chance they get

Not surprised given how many vendors are now just doing the same 3D printed slop.

as someone who has participated as a vendor at renfair. I'm not that surprised considering the past 2 years I've seen so many of those 3D printed trash dragons. this just feels like the natural evolution of that.

Ren Faire was literally the first place I started seeing it out in the wild. For a couple years now been seeing tons if people sell ai generated images in posters and wall scrolls. Just like how a few years before that it was the first place I saw that really leaned into selling mass amounts of mass 3d printed slop.

I’m so not surprised.. I love the people who go to the renaissance fair, the atmosphere and costumes, but at my ren faire, at least 1/3 of vendors sell overpriced drop-shipped items you can find on Amazon, fake crystals, cheap jewelry, or 3d printed junk…

If you’re ever at a ren fair or any other event in Northern California and you see “ soft as snow “ shaved ice just know all of their advertising is made with ai

I was soo sad to see all the AI signs this year 😭😭 but also like the owners have always used questionable signs/advertising (aka using random stock photos instead of the actual performers in ads)
