Lately I've been imagining what it would take to create an AI-generated food image. It's super hard!
Just the rights management issue of the training set is a tough question. Then you have to account for quality, direction and dimensionality of light, food styling, props, custom products or ingredients, the list of challenges goes on an on.
Then after the image is produced, if you're a food company, all your imagery is a kind of 'claim-based' imagery meaning consumers assume it is real and in some cases, there are laws preventing the use of fake foods in ads.
I'm curious about the implications of a world where AI stock photos are ubiquitous, but some styles of imagery are pretty far out at the moment.

- mkirch 7y agoI do wonder if the rights management issue is impacted by the decision referenced in this article regarding training machine learning models on copyrighted material: https://towardsdatascience.com/the-most-important-supreme-court-decision-for-data-science-and-machine-learning-44cfc1c1bcaf https://towardsdatascience.com/the-most-important-supreme-co... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors_Guild,_Inc._v._Google,_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors_Guild,_Inc._v._Google,....

But using copyrighted material to build something that is attempting to replace the copyrighted material seems like it could have gone the other way.

- z3t4 7y agoI would love a image generator that would make images based on the ingredients. When creating a recipe database, not only do you have to photograph thousands of dishes, you also have to cook them.
