Apparently we’ve entered the era of bashing AI graphics 😂
So, a tiny River Bean disclaimer:
I have a full-time career.
I’m a mom.
I’m a wife.
I own River Bean as my slightly unhinged side venture.
I brew cold brew, make lemonade, create new flavors, fill cans, clean equipment, answer messages, prep for events and occasionally attempt to have an actual life. 🤪
What I am not is a graphic designer.
Could I spend 3 hours painstakingly designing every single River Bean graphic from scratch?
Absolutely.
Am I going to?
Respectfully… no. 😂
If using ChatGPT, Claude or whatever other little tool saves me two hours means I get to spend those two hours with my family, my friends, creating a new drink, or just existing as a human being — I’m choosing that every single time.
River Bean is a coffee company, not a graphic design agency. ☕️
So yes, sometimes you might get a beautifully handcrafted graphic.
Sometimes you might get AI.
Sometimes you might get something I slapped together in Canva while sitting in the school pickup line.
And if the coffee still slaps, I think we’re gonna be okay. 😂
Call it AI slop if you want.
I call it work-life balance with a checkerboard background. 🏁☕️
