As much as we’ve loved using AI as a tool to help make the backgrounds of our photos brighter, more fun, and more appealing for all of our crazy, beautiful drink creations, we also understand that AI is something people have very different feelings about. 💕
We built this business from the ground up and have poured so much of ourselves, our time, and our family into making The Hottie Huts what it is today. Protecting this business and listening to the people who support us will always be incredibly important to me.
We’ve heard your feedback. ❤️ We understand that some people feel strongly about AI, especially when it comes to supporting real artists and keeping human creativity alive.
So, we’re SO excited to announce that we’ve found a wonderful, talented young artist who will be helping us create our drink artwork and photos moving forward! We cannot wait to see what she creates and share her work with all of you!
We truly appreciate everyone who took the time to share their thoughts and opinions with us. Feedback helps small businesses grow, and we’re always willing to listen.
With that being said, just a little reminder: kindness still matters. ❤️ It’s okay to dislike AI. It’s okay to choose not to use it. And it’s also okay for someone else to choose a tool that works for them. There’s never a reason to shame, attack, or tear someone down because they make a different choice than you would.
This page has always been about fun drinks, our amazing customers, supporting our community, and spreading a little happiness. There is already enough negativity in the world we don’t want to add to it.
Thank you for supporting our little business, for giving us honest feedback, and most importantly, for continuing to grow with us. 🥹
Edit:
Because we are new to all of this a lot of people are telling us to use Canva, but when we go to download Canva, it says that it’s also an AI tool? is this correct? We don’t want to 100% rely on our wonderful young artist because life does happen and we do put out a lot of specialty drinks. What are some local artist or platforms that people use to create fun backgrounds for the drinks?
