I’ve been out of the design game for six years at this point. Given that I did broadsheet design and wince at most everything for both art and typographical choices, it wasn’t really the sort of thing that stood out to me. There is a lot of bad design being happily gobbled up … hell, I didn’t look at rave flyers in the '90s and think “this is great design,” but rather “how the hell did they have the budget for C2S in CMYK with spot fluorescent and a top coat?”
I didn’t say it was bad, per-say, I don’t know enough about design to judge that, it just immediately triggered the “this is ai” bell in my head when I looked at it.
Your bell was primed because they told you it was AI in advance. If you saw these, side by side with other human made posters and flyers, how reliable would your bell be then? We don’t know.

Mostly the art and the fonts if I had to guess? It was more of an uncanny valley visceral reaction though.

Would it have if you’d not been told it was ahead of time, though?
