Burned $300 on an AI logo tool that made me look like every other pressure washing van in town
Two summers back I paid for 6 months of an AI design subscription because a guy in a Facebook group swore it would make my branding pop. Every logo it spat out looked like a blue swoosh with a water droplet, and I ended up printing 500 business cards I still have in a box in my garage. A real designer in Fort Worth charged me $150 and made something that actually looks like me, so I ate the loss. Anyone else pay for AI tools that just churn out the same recycled look?
Wait, you still have 500 business cards sitting in a box in your garage? That's painful, but at least the $150 designer saved you from handing those out to every customer in town.
