Ed's Plant Shop - Our Talent Isn't Graphic Design!
At the plant shop, we love that each one of our team has a colorful background of experience that they bring through the door every day. E-commerce, horticulture, and accounting saavy are our serious strong points. Graphic design, however, isn't one of them. As a still growing shop, we don't have a huge budget to hire outsiders, so we lean into the tools that are available to us. In this case, AI!
Needless to say, the bots that churn our inquiries, although we feel like they're pretty clear, don't know bunk about botany. These results were so humorous, we felt the need to share them with you!
We asked AI to generate images for:
"Houseplant looking at a seed catalogue for annuals"
"Two houseplants on a counter needing water"
Half of the task was successful, however, that poor pot on the left seems to have misplaced his plant!
"Houseplant looking at laptop reading a blog on fertilizer"
At least AI got the "Laptop" prompt correct!
"Create a mascot for an online plant shop with a plant-y vibe"
Apparently robots have chest made of a tube tv and grows some sort of vegetative chest hair?
"Houseplant looking at a blog with incognito glasses on"Â
