## Summary

A 404 Media writer says her 2026 "I Voted" sticker was AI-generated and looked garbled, with text such as "CEKEVPATIVG EDELDOA" in place of what she assumes was "CELEBRATING FREEDOM." She says she did not post it, while a friend's sticker from South Carolina was clean and legible. She describes the sticker as a small annoyance in a wider debate over where AI should be used.
