there's an Ice cream shop in my city that has obviously generated all their signage and menus and everything else, even on their website the photos section has AI generated people smiling and happy next to the sign. I get that it's a small business that has probably saved a couple of G's on design/code but it's all so sloppy and obvious.

I find basic sites, that were probably put together by the owner’s nephew, rather charming. Much better than AI.

I'll even excuse the ones with food photos that look like they were taken with a feature phone. New places that can't even bother to take photos of their own menu are a massive red flag to me. Where else are they cutting corners?

I absolutely despise food delivery sites where there is either "example picture" or AI generated picture on food item. Why even bother? I understand that food-photography needs some level of skill, but still maybe bad photo of real thing is lot better than fake photo of fake thing...

I find that even looking at a teenager's crappy Sonic the Hedgehog fan artwork is much more pleasant than looking at impeccably machine-drafted AI slop. It sounds like a bit of a handwave to talk about how much "soul" an art piece has or doesn't have, but there's a certain something there that's a product of human experience and (so far) can only come with that, that manifests in every human-created piece. So I'm at the point where the only AI-generated art I can tolerate is fictional: to wit, the little crayon doodles Diana draws for you in Pragmata.

This validates my prediction that GenAI will be the Comic Sans of the late 2020s.

There's a new bakery that opened up near me and they have signage on their windows with clearly AI generated images of their food. How the hell do they think that is going to appeal to a potential customer?
