Healdsburg businesses: please stop making AI slop for promo

Everywhere I turn I see more and more local businesses posting sloppy AI graphics to promote events, etc. This is unnecessary, irresponsible, and tasteless.

We are barely out of a major drought. So there is really no excuse for anyone vaguely aware and who claims to care about the environment (or the future) to casually burn through water to make fake pictures of the Plaza or a winery populated by uncanny humanoid figures with shimmery limbs.

This is especially egregious when done by local arts orgs meant to promote creativity (cough, True West Film Center). But it is really just depressing to see these flattened, monotonous, and frankly quite ugly images everywhere. Yes, budgets are shrinking and pressure is high, but this is not the answer.

Healdsburg Dental Spa is run by Scientologists

Yesterday I went in for a job interview for a receptionist position at Healdsburg Dental Spa. They asked me to come in a 7:30pm, which I guess should have been my first red flag. But their website seemed pretty normal so I went. There were already three other young women (around my age) in the office. I was very confused because they did not tell me this was going to be a group interview. Upon arriving I was given a packet of paper work to fill out. The first page asked me to agree to the principals of L Ron Hubbard and the church of Scientology. I immediately set the paper work down and walked out, because screw that! Looking back I now feel guilty that I did make more of scene and tell the other applicants they should leave, but also I just wanted to gtf out of there.

Upon doing more research into the clinic it seems that on top of being a Scientologist Dr. Maxine Tran and Healdsburg Dental Spa are massive scammers. My mom told me that a family friend had majorly botched dental work there and was refused a refund. Many of their online yelp reviews seem to backup this claim. I would love to know if anyone has been to this dental clinic and what their experience was? I'm just pretty baffled by all of it.
