The ‘Fake AI Movie Poster’ Epidemic Is Here and It’s Hilarious

Every day, like clockwork, my mother-in-law sends me yet another "mind-blowing" photo she stumbled upon on Facebook. Every day, I gently explain: "Yes, it's amazing, but no, it's not real. It's AI-generated." You've probably seen these too—outlandish scenes like a kid in a third-world country building a functional rocket out of tin cans, with Jesus helping him launch it. The AI fakery is getting better, sure, but right now? It's hilarious.

Enter the latest trend in online absurdity: AI-generated movie posters. These are so bad they're good, and they've taken over the internet (well, mostly Facebook). Think of sequels no one asked for, like Grown-Ups 3, Jack the Giant Slayer 2, or yet another Twilight installment. The posters themselves are a glorious mess of awkward faces, misplaced hands, and taglines that make zero sense.

While AI tools continue to improve, these cringe-worthy creations are a reminder that not every innovation nails it on the first try. So, scroll through this gallery of hilariously bad AI movie posters, and laugh along with the internet's collective confusion. And hey, who's to say we haven't already fallen for a fake? It's 2025—anything's possible.
