| I hope my local kebab shops switch to this for their signs. |

| One of my locally owned fried rice places doodled a simple pencil cartoon of them cooking fried rice to satisfy their evil landlord and it has cascaded into a series of mildly unhinged pencil cartoon doodles every few days on Facebook. It is an incredibly refreshing break from the local food/eats FB groups being utterly flooded with identical looking slop posters and has earned my business several times. Also it's just... incredibly in-touch marketing in general. |

| I can't disagree more. A lot of shops in our city have done this and I actually miss the shitty photoshopped images that did not even look like the real life dish anyway. AI signs are way worse. |
| |
| ▲ | embedding-shape 15 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I thought that was parents point, that currently they're using so shitty AI generated logos, that even if we despise that as a concept, at least better models output slightly less sloppy shit. But re-reading it, I'm not sure that was the right initial reading. | | |
| ▲ | visarga 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | I am wondering if in 2-3 years AI will be heads and shoulders above us in both images and text. Then will we continue to see the slop accusations? Maybe its slop is better than most of our work. | | |
| ▲ | magicalist 15 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | > Then will we continue to see the slop accusations? If it doesn't look like the food you're about to purchase, yes? Why is this even a question in this context. | | |
| ▲ | strangecasts 14 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Yes, even though fast food places would previously use every food photography trick in the book to make the food look good, there was at least some relation between the menu and what you actually get, which people just seem completely fine with dispensing because the affordances of image generators work against including product photography (Have also heard about people - not just scammers/spam operations - using generated pictures and descriptions for dating profiles and real estate ads, and I cannot understand what outcome they expect when someone follows up and immediately realizes what's up) | |

| ▲ | magicalist 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | > "Here is a picture of the dish, make it look nicer and use that as a reference" That's not a function of improvement in models, though, which was the question. You could literally do that today, no need to wait for models in "2-3 years". | |

| |
| ▲ | steve_adams_86 15 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Not OP but my guess is that they're already using bad AI images for their kebab business, and OP wants them to use better AI for their images (so they may actually lose fewer customers because the AI imagery isn't so awful) | | | |
| ▲ | bko 15 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Why do you care what your kebab shop uses for their menus? These people are trying to run a business. If this can allow them to clearly communicate prices in a well designed pleasant way, it's great. Why must they slave away in design and technology or pay someone to do it for them? I think it's great | | |
| ▲ | ks2048 15 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | If I eat at a restaurant and that restaurant has images of their food, I want those to be “real images” of what they will bring me when I pay. Otherwise it’s misleading. | | |
| ▲ | bko 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't think I've ever eaten at a restaurant with real images of their food, pre or post AI. | | |
| ▲ | embedding-shape 14 hours ago | parent [-] | | Not sure exactly what images we're talking about here, places above "medium-scale" typically don't have images on their menus at all, and mostly have real iamges on their Instagram and website, of course professionally taken and edited though. |

| ▲ | tyjen 15 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I think every restaurant on Uber Eats in my area uses AI slop or, minimally, AI "enhanced" food pictures. | | |
| ▲ | nxc18 14 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I see a ton of AI generated images and descriptions on DoorDash. I get the sense the restaurant is not doing it themselves, I’m not sure if they have any control over disabling it or perhaps they are opting in. | |
| ▲ | Insanity 15 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Probably some other type of ads '[..] in your area' will use this as well. |

| If it was only the small shops doing it... companies that could easily hire ad designers use AI slop images full of errors. |
