You see a disappointingly large amount of AI graphics in smaller church spaces and it is really making me nostalgic for the good old days of parish event posters using terrible clip art and at least three fonts, one of which was always Papyrus.

They should make a space diplomacy simulator where you have to manage Earth’s diplomatic corps when dealing with weird aliens with totally different everything. “The sapient shade of blue takes umbrage at your dress and accuses you of enslaving his brethren. He demands you fart in apology.”
