Great sauce but beyond shit tier advertising

Not everyone cares about this but as an artist it’s quite discouraging. I know the owners are on this subreddit. I’d be happy to do sauce advertising art for you guys in exchange for sauce lol

and I’m sure there are plenty of other artists in here who would also want to put an end to this AI bullshit who are more skilled than me. So please… don’t do this.

We would all rather have an ad email with no art all than this garbage

This is low effort even by AI standards.

    I don’t give a fuck about the artistry, how do I get the free sauce?

  2. ajr5169

    Were in ingredients in the sauce determined by AI? That’s what I really want to know.

  3. Hotdog0713

    Oh no the humanity! My hot sauce company using modern tools to cheapen their overhead??!! How dare they!!!

    The hate on this post is disgusting. They should be using Union Jalapeño and at the very least, paying for some stock concert venue photos of, if not renting out, a venue for this. It’s stealing from all the theater owners out there who make a living off their bright lights and confetti canons and cheapening all the peppers used to train the AI.

    Oh no.. anyways. The sauces are still top notch.

  6. TheInvincibleDonut

    This post is literal human slop.

  7. I definitely wouldn’t buy anything with advertising that looked like that. AI or not lol

  8. matt24671

    Better get used to it, every company in the world will be using AI to advertise soon. And there is no way enough people will boycott them to change it

  9. SpaceNachoTaco

    Hahaha no one cares! You’re using AI as an excuse why you dont get work to deflect it is YOU that is the failure. But the best part is you posted this looking for sympathy and quickly found out everyone here sees right through it.

  10. spicynoodsinmuhmouf

    it’s ok to use AI. My god. lol

  11. AdventureAhead

    Ai or not it’s low effort and cheapens the brand in my opinion . I feel ai dilutes the stock of real artists and using real art with a small brand is a great way to stand out.

  12. OwlLavellan

    God AI “art” sucks. I hate it so much.

  13. onceagainwithstyle

    Like farriers shaking their fists at cars.

  14. Baked_Potato_732

    So, all you guys griping are gonna offer to invest in their company right?

  15. MrUsername24

    Like sure, use Ai.

    But just know whenever I look at that ad, ill sea cheapness

    Rather type up a prompt than hire someone, what else will they cheap out with?

  16. Plentyoflabiamajor

    I can understand it if you’re a small home business, because artists can be expensive. But these guys aren’t small. There is also the possibility they hired an artist and that artist cut corners using Ai. I’ve seen that happen too.

  17. ricflairwoooo420

    Wow this really made me not want to buy from them again thank you /s

  18. GamerColyn117

    Wild that this post had stayed up this long. When I brought up this same topic 3 months ago when I noticed the AI in emails, it was [removed by the mod because it was “trolling”](https://imgur.com/a/4lM4crO) that I brought it up.

  19. PM_Me_Pikachu_Feet

    slop. stuff tastes like slop too.

  20. EyeSimp4Asuka

    thing is this almost looks passable for human made probably due to how AI blatantly steals content. It still fails the sniff test though since it doesn’t match the art style of Torchbearer in the slightest

  21. adamaley

    They couldn’t even use AI to incorporate their actual bottles. They don’t look like they belong in this image at all. Poor execution of laziness

  22. weird that their bottles have such cool and interesting art but their ads are ai slop

  23. paroles

    It’s funny to see all the comments defending use of AI because “it’s the future, man” then scroll back up to the creepy jalapenos and THIS is what the all-important future looks like. If we have to burn down some forests for this couldn’t it at least look cool?

  24. Aluminum_Tarkus

    If the hot sauce sales tank because they use AI art in their advertising, then they’re going to hire real artists for future ads or die.

    If the AI art doesn’t tank their sales, then that just means the quality of the art used in their advertising has far less impact on overall sales than the artists who make it want people to believe. It’s not as if artists are owed the business of companies if their art isn’t better at selling products than AI slop.

    The only people who lose are the artists who aren’t better than AI (as far as selling products goes). Allow businesses to AB test your art vs. the AI art they use, and let them come to the conclusion based on their findings. Hell, tell them you won’t charge them for the art unless your art has an X% greater CTR than their AI art. Better yet, you could have them agree to pay you like 10-20% of the profits your art does more than the AI stuff. It could be a solid opportunity to convert them if they can see the difference.

    Small aside: I love how AI art upsets everyone but as soon as it’s “vibe coding” everyone is like “wow, this guy made something with no programming skills it’s great, now we can get rid of programmers ha ha ha!”

  26. West-Painter-7520

    WHAAATTF!?!?!? 2 free sauces?!? Thanks for letting me know about this sale

  27. LPulseL11

    You’re delusional if you think this will ever ‘end’. Sorry but protecting artists from AI is way way far down on society’s priority list. Most industries are bracing for AI impacts to their own jobs. People in tech are being employed solely to teach AI to replace their jobs. I dont think you’re going to find a lot of sympathy for artists when AI layoffs really start hitting the job market. Combined with boomers pulling out of the market as they get into retirement, shits going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    Holy shit Ai = bad and yet still nobody cares

  29. CodeAdorable1586

    u/rushmc1

    It wouldn’t let me reply to his comment recommending I use ai exclusively for all my comments now

    So

    Gladly.

    “You sound like the kind of guy who thinks replacing human creativity with a chatbot is a bold new frontier—probably because you’ve never had much of either.”

    Not sure if the second thing he doesn’t have is boldness or what bc AI sucks at forming logical coherent thoughts but that’s what AI had to say on it
