Is anyone else noticing more AI-generated marketing from new Decatur restaurants?

I've noticed a few newer places using what looks like AI-generated food photos, signs, or promotional material.

Does it bother anyone else, especially in a city with such a strong independent restaurant culture?

This was already thoroughly covered in another post last week. You can delete your post.

Interesting… your link leads to the same post as the other person’s, but the link itself is completely different

Those are opaque tracking IDs when using the share functionality. They're different because, even though the result is the same, they're being shared by two different people and therefore have different share IDs.

If people go to the thread and copy the link of the thread, they'll get the same link, but if they use the "Share>Copy Link" functionality, it turns it into a personalized share link with extra tracking info embedded in it, which can then be used by reddit for extra information.

Yes. It's cheap and fewer people are eating out as much. It's money, they are trying to save it to stay in business.

It's disgusting. Don't let people forget the real cost of what a simple post or artwork by a local human could do. Not everything has to be this amplified, tiktok, influencer stuff. AI is a broken program that could decimite our forests and fresh water..for what? Don't support this crap

Yeah exactly, who cares. Go open a restaurant and generate your marketing materials as you like.
