I saw a thing yesterday about how Just Eat are now using AI generated images of the food being offered.
It’s pissed me off for long enough that so many restaurants use stock images, rather than just taking a fucking photo of what they make, but for there to be no human at all in the process is a massive piss take. If they as a restaurant don’t care enough about the food they offer to take some photos of it, then I, even as a fat bastard with a tendency towards gluttony, don’t care enough to order from them.
And that’s just a takeaway. AI images of somewhere that might cost me £1300 a month can fuck right off.
There’s a salon near me that has recently taped up ai generated pictures of people to show what kind of hairstyle they offer. Like, the whole point of the photo is to prove the quality of the service…
I do kind of get it, big companies have the advantage of paid photographers and inventive “serving suggestions” to make a floppy dry mc-chicken look like a Dionysian feast. My local kabab taking a photo of greasy meat with their phone under the old florescant lamps never looks as good.
I mean, I obviously salivate at such images, but I’m not sure I’d trust them to bring in the dough were I a small proprietor.
A fucking apartment though? Fraud, Straight to jail.

I’d rather see greasy kebab pics than get my trypophobia set off by kebab that slowly disolves into rice
