Are you using AI to promote gigs?

I tried to step my toe into the AI world. I downloaded ChatGPT and tried to make a poster for an upcoming gig for one of my bands. It never quite came out right. It would have the date on there multiple times, the address was just gibberish symbols instead of the actual city and so on. After three or four prompts I got a notice that I had used my daily limit of edits and I had to wait 24 hours. Do I just need practice making prompts or is the technology not there yet? Do I need to get the paid version? I don’t know that I would do enough with it to justify the cost.
 
Yes
No…Maybe… depends.

Try Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Studio (Gemini), Leonardo AI, Microsoft Create, Bing Image Creator, or the multitude of new AI below in future tools.
What I’ve explored, there is a steep learning curve with prompts, to get what you want it to do.
I try to watch Matt Wolfe for All-Thing-AI. There is soooo much content.
AI is rapidly advancing, growing and new A.I. companies each day and week.
Try Matt’s launch page Future Tools, with a concentration in the Graphics. It can be overwhelming. But you will have to spend some time to with these tools to achieve your goal. Most are free, with limitation.

Lastly, try getting 90% of what you want from AI, but refine it with a graphic editor like, PowerPoint, Keynote, image editor, etc.

AI and all that seems wayyyyyyyyy more complicated than just opening a .jpg with Preview and using the Markup tools to add text to the photo. Then use same tool to change size of .jpg to whatever size you want (8x10 or ???). Presto chango a poster in less than 5 minutes no AI needed.

I've not used it, but I've seen other venues using it to promote one of our shows. Our country lead singer ended up looking like Bobby Lee.
 
I'm using AI to build something which I'm going to call "SkyNet"....

I can’t see making a poster with a few images taking all too long, certainly not the 24 hours you’re waiting.
For a poster, I’d guess you can re use all your images or the same poster changing dates.
To me AI strengths is in having it scan the net for info, rather than you putting in info
 
Actually, I was messing around with that very thing. Meh... came out OK. The other guys in the band felt we were more of the "King of the hill" type of group rather than the Simpsons {{EDIT - see below - got it}}. I never got back to trying it due to the daily limit on ChatGPT (I'm a freeloading cheapskate and use the non-paid portal). Note the telltale extra (and creepy) AI generated hand. 😲

BTW, I have used ChatGPT to re-write some of my technical things that were intended for non-technical audiences (day job). It worked quite well.

I hate to be That Guy—I truly do—but I'd have thought that artists would be the last ones to think using AI to do something artistic was a good idea. My cousin, the very successful businessman? Sure, I'm not surprised he goes this route, but then he's never had an appreciation for or even understanding of art. (That's right, Davey, I'm talking about you. See you at Uncle Nate's on the Fourth.)

Be the change you want to see and don't be the change you don't want to see.
 
AI can mimic but not create an original idea.

Perhaps if you have it specific parameters (eg., color pallette, starter photo, background photo) it would generate something usable.

Such as this:
