"Offensively lazy": True Detective’s laughably bad posters have got to be AI

True Detective posters.

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed a strange detail in the latest episode of the TV series True Detective, which featured a pair of laughably generic poster designs for fictional bands. Fans took to X to share their thoughts, with most believing that the posters were AI-generated due to strange characterless design and bizarre typos. 

While a showrunner aimed to quell the controversy, fans were still insistent that the posters – AI or otherwise – were a strange move that didn't make sense for the plotline. There are plenty of AI art generators available and most are fairly efficient, yet we're still treated to the occasional AI fail that reminds us that graphic designers are still a necessity.
