The ECB launched a contest on social media to design new Euro banknotes. This is what the users replied 😂

(edited)

Die EZB hat einen Wettbewerb auf Social Media am Start, neue Euro-Banknoten zu designen, wenn man ein Grafik-Designer innerhalb der EU ist.

Im Zeitalter von KI haben die User aber innerhalb von wenigen Minuten originelle, witzige Memes hochgeladen, wie zum Beispiel diese Euro-Banknote im Bitcoin-Stil. Mass Adoption.

Andere Designs haben mehr die Inflation und die Billionen-Ausgaben (engl. Trillionen) des neuen EU-Budgetplans im Fokus.

Und das sind noch die harmloseren Design-Vorschläge.

Schaut euch mal den Thread of X an, ist wirklich witzig.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Welches Motiv ist euer Favorit?

The ECB has launched a contest on social media to design new euro banknotes, open to graphic designers within the EU.

But in the age of AI, users have uploaded original, funny memes within minutes, such as this Bitcoin-style euro banknote. Mass adoption.

Other designs focus more on inflation and the trillions spent on the new EU budget plan.

And those are still the more harmless design suggestions.

Take a look at the thread on X, it's really funny.

What do you think? Which design is your favorite?

That is hilarious! Lagarde at the printshop, inflating the currency! Although, why is she printing out a $100 bill? Are you making news here? :)

I'd say this is exactly the way you would expect something like this to go xD
Especially with AI, it's become so easy to create memes and other funny designs like these.

I also saw a 0€ Bud Spencer banknote somewhere in that thread.

Yeah, and many AI designs are really good too, think they didn't thought enough of AI but had real graphics designers in mind.

Lol, I'll have to give it to the 100 trillion euro note with Lagarde behind the printer. I wonder how they'll pick a winner from this contest.

Memes are great.

Honestly, only incompetent old people who got their jobs as payment for favors would think this would not go down like this. But it's funny seeing all of these trolling submissions.

Aktuell steht der Euro gegenüber dem Dollar deutlich besser da als vor paar Monaten.

Finde es sollte dafür nicht noch Geld ausgegeben werden, also für neue scheine.

Aber wie wäre es dann mit Scheinen im Wert von 7, 14, 28, 35 Euro, damit die Kids zählen lernen beim Bezahlen. !LOL

In the age of AI, graphic design has become weak, but it is still possible to achieve a beautiful and perfect design, and I think AI can give good results in this regard.
