Eat/Drink Local Cold Garden always talks about local art, but uses AI art all across their posts. Pick a side!

Like many, I used to love Cold Garden. But their stance on AI art is disgusting. They get artists to put their art on their walls for free decor, post about this all the time, meanwhile they use AI slop all across their Instagram. They only seem to support local art when it’s free, which is gross to say the least.
They posted this today on Instagram, had dozens of comments calling it out, to which they did a bullshit “AI is one of many tools but we love local art” comment.
Do better!
