I've noticed my phone has started without asking me, giving me praises of text messages, which I don't know how to turn off.
But just a mate will text socially and it will put underneath questions about availability.
But this was a poster made by a gentleman called David who lost his son some years ago and now has an annual football match for different charities.
I've made my decision that since it's already been generated, I didn't do it.
What I'll do is I'll post the picture and I'll probably have a chat with him next time and say, It would be better not to use AI posters if you get the chance.
This is a man who used to make his own posters and got criticized for using clip art and things like that on his posters, which didn't make the events look as professional as I think he would like.
The response, the tone of the responses upset me I'm totally on board with the let's not use AI thing.
The sneering tone and the risk at which even when you're making the right argument, you lose people with your aggression.

And I understand that you're exactly right about factory farming or whatever it is, but you've gone at somebody who's just having a bit of lunch or just wants to have a nice bit of lunch on the day.
And the fury and the sneer and the anger and the personal stuff that came up as a result of this poster blew my mind to the point where I've deleted the post.
I've just taken it down because obviously it was collaboration with Dave and I don't want him to see all that.
