Walking through the quiet woods of Berkeley recently, I stumbled upon an unexpected piece of art: a poster crafted by artificial intelligence. The poster, set to advertise a local park event, burst with vivid colours and playful designs—children laughing and animals frolicking on a carousel. At first glance, its origins appeared natural, but a closer look revealed the scrambled, Cyrillic-like characters that betray its digital roots.
This piece, likely produced with tools such as ChatGPT, reflects a growing trend: AI is seeping into the fabric of everyday life, enhancing everything from restaurant menus and educational resources to community ads. As these technologies continue to mature, we’re beginning to see a seamless integration of AI into our daily routines—transforming how content is both created and consumed.
