Hot take: that AI art tool my team used last Tuesday was actually a disaster

Our marketing department rolled out an AI image generator for social media posts, and within one day it spat out a logo with scrambled text that looked like gibberish. Nobody caught it before it went live on our main feed, and we got roasted in the comments for 6 hours straight. Am I wrong for thinking these tools need way stricter human checks before they hit production?

Good, I used to be one of those people saying "just put a human in the loop and it'll be fine" but that story about the scrambled logo really drives home how fast stuff slips through. A six-hour roasting over something the AI just made up on the fly, that's a hard lesson learned.

Man I feel that. My first attempt at a "quick AI assist" ended up making me look like I was arguing with a customer about a product that doesn't even exist for two hours before I realized the bot was just making stuff up. Real "rocket science" moment there from the guy who can't work a coffee machine before his first night shift.

Same thing happened at my old job, some AI scheduling tool booked a crew for a shift at a location that got demolished three years ago. Six hours of confused phone calls before someone figured out the bot was hallucinating addresses.
