I hope my local kebab shops switch to this for their signs.
- coffeebeqn 2mo agoI see a lot of the slop posters in real life now and I hate them
- arrowleaf 2mo agoI still don't know if I hate them because they are visually slop, or that the businesses farmed out sign creation to the slop machine
- rexskimmer 2mo agoAll of the above for me.
- infecto 2mo agoI love them because while not perfect it’s a good way to filter out businesses that don’t have good taste.
- tyjen 2mo agoI think every restaurant on Uber Eats in my area uses AI slop or, minimally, AI "enhanced" food pictures.
- Insanity 2mo agoProbably some other type of ads '[..] in your area' will use this as well.
- nxc18 2mo agoI 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.
- Betelbuddy 2mo agoIf they wanna loose customers...
- yoz-y 2mo agoIt would be an improvement, probably, because they are still using Dall.e 1 apparently.
- steve_adams_86 2mo agoNot 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)
- dude250711 2mo agoThe normier the user the crazier the pics.
- bko 2mo agoWhy 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
- Betelbuddy 2mo agoI care, the same way I wont read your blog, if you use AI photos. Same mechanism.
- ks2048 2mo agoIf 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.

- sanid 2mo agoI 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 2mo agoI 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 2mo agoI 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.
- lambdas 2mo ago“Stop calling it slop you guys, I’ll have you know I am even sloppier”
- magicalist 2mo ago> 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.
- WarmWash 2mo ago"Here is a picture of the dish, make it look nicer and use that as a reference"
- strangecasts 2mo ago"Users will voluntarily prompt better to avoid misleading people" will be the "people can simply write memory safe C" of the late 2020s
- icedrift 2mo agoThis is hilarious and it's killing me people are taking it literally
- Macuyiko 2mo agoSarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but...
- emsign 2mo agoIf it was only the small shops doing it... companies that could easily hire ad designers use AI slop images full of errors.
- 100percentjake 2mo agoOne 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.
- mattbettinson 2mo agoAbsolutely. I hope with all these Ai generated images it will only raise the value of human creativity/output
