I like this, looks good.

I wasn't aware of it until AI came around, but apparently there's a cult around how much effort you put into your event posters. Didn't know advertising was something people felt folks should be putting tons of effort into.

The OP article is surprisingly candid about their critique - not that the AI-generated style they've identified is bad, but that it is so common. Therein apparently lies one frailty of our human condition - if everyone can do it, it becomes out of fashion at best, or even stigmatized at worse. I feel there's a place where that's a rational instinct, but under an extensive backdrop where the instinct is irrational - aka, 'art'. If someone needed an explanation for 'why can't we have nice things', I think OP's article articulates it very well.
