Discussion YOOO we infected image generators with Lorem Ipsum and now they think that's what a brand looks like
CONTEXT: I was being silly and thought "Mired & Marred" as a binomial pair would make a funny luxury beauty product line name. So I asked ChatGPT (more specifically, Sora) to generate some product packaging and noticed the Lorem Ipsum right away.
At first it was funny but then it struck me: this is what happens when you feed an algo a steady diet of mockups, templates, and design decks. You are what you eat, and Lorem Ipsum was on a lot of menus.
There's something uncanny afoot. Like, our own design rituals being reflected back at us not as placeholders, but as gospel.
Anyone else getting glimpses behind the curtain?

Ah yes, the Lorem Crem and the Lorem Serum… two of the best products in their respective industry!
