it's so bizarre to me that people who work with food don't realize that the ai trash is producing images that are REVOLTING, do not look like food, and actively deter people from their products.
you'd be better off with a half lit shitty polaroid of actual food than putting that trash on your branding, so much of it is nightmare fuel
I used to work in a wine store. Customers would always joke “hahaha i just pick them by the label 😂” and I would always say. That’s not stupid, wine is about aesthetics. Someone who makes good wine will appreciate the value of a good label. And the inverse is true, people with poor taste won’t care about their label, but they won’t be able to make good wine, either.
I’m saying judge a book by its cover. How else are you gonna know what’s in the book without looking at its cover??
You're definitely right, the food looks so phony. The thing that's wild is half the time they make a flyer, there's only bricks of yellow text on a black background that's too much info to read. I'm visiting San Francisco right now and saw a pizza shop last night that their entire menu was AI garbage and was so shocked how prevalent it's become.
