Yes! It's genuinely fascinating, and it's the kind of thing I trust this community to talk about in a reasonable way which is not quite always the case (Mozilla, many politics topics). But this feels like, potentially, AI prompting or even more interestingly an intentional stylistic choice.

In Japan, pictures of food are legally required to faithfully represent the actual food you get, AI-generated pictures wouldn't fly with their laws.

[mplanchard]

Not sure about this, given that sufficiently accurate plastic simulacra satisfy the law, right? Is it just that it can’t be digitally generated?

[glenstein]

Not to mention the uniform tilt (1) isn't necessarily what they have in mind and (2) would likely be incidental on a case-by-case basis rather than having the exact same tilt applying to everything and (3) presumably there are lots of other incidental variations in presentation that are no more or less plausible than tilted buns (e.g. stray shred of lettuce or overextended drizzle of sauce or like 20 other things). You would think any given image would be a motley combination of those things rather than an exact repetition of one.

Like the sibling said about plastic models, if the generated image does faithfully look like the food then I guess it's fine. Over time anyway customers won't even know it's AI generated or a real photo as all the hallmarks of AI images are rapidly disappearing.

Are you joking?

Hackernews sees skewed burger and proceeds to praise itself

[glenstein]

Nope! I think especially in professional hands they can produce convincing images of food. Also notice the caveats? It's a subjective impression about what's potentially the case paired with immediate acknowledgement of an alternative.

Gotta throw this one back in the lake I'm afraid.

It’s clever, it makes the burger more “accessible” - you’re not thinking “how am I going to eat this tower of food”.

Bite selection is akin to bin packing, now that I think about it.
