Junk Mail Generator

I recently got some junk mail from the ASPCA, encouraging me to write out my credit card number by hand on paper to sign up for information regarding, in order:

  1. Becoming a monthly donor
  2. “Including the ASPCA in my will”
  3. “I’ve already included the ASPCA in my will”

Accompanying this request was a collection of five holiday cards for me to mail to my loved ones, of dogs, cats, and horses in the wintertime, except they were all AI generated. I’m honestly unsure if they gave up the photography budget, or think their target demographic for donors loves the AI aesthetic so much they prefer that over real animals. Anyway, I did not mail them my credit card number.

Cards

But if you’re a nonprofit development director, I’ve now made a tool that automates this portion of your holiday to-do list, via a Junk Mail Generator. Simply type in a prompt, then let Playground AI (via Replicate) generate the artwork. You’ll have some auto-generated captions for different occasions, which you can edit right inline, then print out and mail to your heart’s (dis)content. The site includes custom CSS so the postcards print out just right.
