Immediately greeted with a huuuuuuge print that was clearly AI. The shop turned out to be full of these, plastered with clearly AI-generated images. It's plausible these were real photos, or blocked out in Blender, because they had a consistent implication of space. But textures and forms blended into eachother in the tell-tale way.

There were candles, oils, lip-balms, wood-cut pens, etc. Your usual fare.

But there were also pens with AI generated prints, woodcut with laser-engraved images of a glowing impossible horse, real-human shell art but advertised with an AI-generated logo.

This was in the middle of a mall trip already filllllllled with AI shit. AI flyers AI posters AI food menus AI generated police recruitment posters AI generated everything. It wasn't just filled with AI, it was devoid of soul. Crazymaking stuff that makes you want to take a baseball bat, tear out your eyes, and swing wildly.
