AI-generated images discourage me from interacting with any entity AT ALL. Bar / restaurant posters, events, shops, anything. Because it makes the brand appear lazy. And in a weird way "anti-human". I don't have a better word than that.

Yesterday I encountered AI-generated food photos on a menu for the first time. I immediately felt grossed out before even realising why. Their generated focaccias didn't even look like food, just off-putting trypophobia triggers.

Also, that's just misleading. When I see pictures of food on a menu, I expect them to be real pictures of an example of the actual dish I'd get (perhaps made a little more carefully with more of an eye towards presentation, but the actual, real item).

AI-generated food photos on a menu are dirty lies.

100%. Uncanny valley but for food. Or anything else.

I’m afraid it will become the norm very soon, and nobody will give a damn about it, even if they notice. Most people already don’t notice it at all.

You're setting yourself up for a lonely life.

I think it is like CGI in movies, in the beginning it was often obvious and jarring. Over time as it gets better the obviousness of AI images will be much harder to spot and they will be common without being noteworthy.

What a ridiculous conclusion jump.

It's the complete opposite of that. I prefer human things, human interaction, with human beings involved, which in some way reflect the human experience.

> lonely life.

Maybe they are hoping robots will replace human interaction, connection and intimacy like in some of those future distopian movies

I want to say /s but I'm sure lots of people are looking forward to this because they are already lonely

You're just putting words in their mouth. They didn't say any of that. Re-read their comment.

This is kind of like saying in the 2000s "If you won't listen to auto-tuned music, you're in for a lonely life." There's entire subcultures where you can avoid that, for example, fans of the Grateful Dead (who include many successful people, such as Jerome Powell, but that's another story). Anyway, they don't tend to be lonely people.

Somehow we managed to live this whole time without generative AI. Why do we need it now?
