MICHAELS CUSTOMER WARNS AGAINST NEW HALLOWEEN DECOR FOR THIS STRANGE REASON
Michaels shopper Jack Valentine (@flippedthrift) was miffed after seeing that the chain was selling what he says is clearly AI-generated artwork.
“I saw online this morning that Michaels may be using AI art for their Halloween line,” he starts, heading into the store. “When I walked in, sure enough, all of the Halloween was out but there was one piece in particular that I was looking for.”
He then focuses his attention on a piece of wall decor showing a bride wraith draped in white, flowing robes. She looks like death and is surrounded by several white wolves. Valentine began breaking down just what was off about the imagery.
“Sure enough, clear as day, right at the bottom you can see a robot logo as well as a Freepik logo. Freepik is an AI photo and art creating website this is so disappointing. It’s also so obvious.”
Several TikTokers said they were shocked this piece was being sold.One person wrote, “MICHAELS NO MICHAELS WHY,” while another simply said, “Not the logo.”
