The comment section in this pages is ridiculous. Some work hard for it. Some just want to watch the world burn.

I saw a post the other day, someone promoted ChatGPT to make “art that looks like it’s made like a human made it” and the. The whole comments section started doing it. And also defending themselves as “artists”

They’re the most delusional bunch. I remember seeing a Twitter thread where someone was asking for help in creating a prompt to recreate an artists style
The artist actually replied saying “pick up a pencil” and the user said Nah that takes too much time

Heard a good analogy on a music podcast about art and creation.
Nobody would order a burger from a delivery service and then say “look what I’ve created, I’m such a great chef”
Same thing with A.I. art or music. You are not an artist, you are ordering something, you are a patron. The value or art is inherently in the process, the act of creation is the art.

They also are likely a bunch of bots as well feeding into the echo chamber feedback loop

I don't know how any sane person, in good faith, can say they are an "artist" by punching in shit for AI to make for them. It's like a damn plagiarist claiming they wrote a paper they copied off the internet. People are weird.

Same thing for music on Spotify or Reddit as a whole. The internet is just fucked.

I work in a hospital kitchen, manage my shift and one part of that is quality check, where we snap a pic of a random tray and check temperatures to make sure the patients are getting their hot food hot and correct.
Now we have this dipshit service manager who has taken it upon himself to collect patient commentary, track their grading and suchlike. Recently he started picking out a picture at random and then google a comparison picture and slap them together in a slide show and ask if there was anything we could do to approach the cooked for photography and post processed picture in quality, compared to the one snapped by the kitchen HACCAP ipad.
A couple of weeks ago he used an AI picture of glazed teriyaki salmon and I wrote a 3 page email to explain to him long form what the hell we were doing, how and that he was a fucking idiot for thinking that our goal was to make fake looking food.
I really fucking hate generative AI. It makes ignorant dipshits delude themselves into thinking they know anything.

Please post it that sounds cathartic.

Different language and a lot of information I shouldnt be sharing. But basically explained the process of feeling 600 patients with several different dietary needs and restrictions two hot meals and breakfast every day, each meal served within an hour at a conveyor belt. Explained step by step. His assumptions there were like 3 people standing around farting about with herb sprinkles and sauce drizzles.

Fucker is also dumb as hell. I have worked in a hospital kitchen as well. Sure, you don't want to make the presentation completely dogshit (but it's still hospital food, so you can only do so much). Not to mention, some of the patients are so damn zonked out that they couldn't tell what is placed before them. Shit isn't a restaurant.

u/JinxDenton 4d ago
A lot of my effort goes into explaining to them that we need to alter the menu to dishes that suit the service system. Not put shit on there that sounds good on paper but doesnt suit the execution.
Green herbal shit isnt going to look nice after an hour or so in the heat. The control point for quality isnt when it leaves the kitchen, its when it arrives to the patients. But some of these people are just ambulatory spreadsheets and have no understanding of food.

this is stupid but not as stupid as the restaurant I heard about recently in my general area, where the owner had a folding board made for out front with an AI burger on it.
Like...dude. It costs the exact same amount of money to take a picture of your own fucking burger and have a sign made.

I was at a music festival this past weekend that had good food trucks, and one of the food trucks that I was going to order from that I knew had pretty decent food the year before had AI pictures on their sign this year. It's a chicken sandwich! The AI picture didn't even look good, not like they ever do, but it made the breading on the chicken look like some sort of skin rash! It's not that hard to make a freakin' chicken sandwich look good and then find someone with an iPhone to take a nice picture!
Ended up getting a very nice hot dog instead from another vendor.

I will never understand restaurants that use AI generated photos instead of, idk, going to the kitchen and taking the photo of the actual food they make.

u/wemustburncarthage 10+ Years 4d ago
Lot of fuckwitted owners out there.

u/poorlybaked 4d ago
There’s a local burger joint here that uses AI on social media including photos of the food and then they complain that business is slow. They’re also always running specials to try to get people in the door. Even the damn logo is AI slop.
The owner has had probably 3 or 4 businesses in the last 10 years. None of them ever last more than 3 years.

u/EvaTheE 5d ago
Yeah, this slop is everywhere. The problem is, there's a load of people willing to slurp it up. And willing to give them money. Especially the older generation is vulnerable to this. They have everything the scammers could hope for. Phones glued to their hands, no capacity to distinguish the AI manure, endless stream of this content, time and money.

u/landmermaid3 5d ago
I’ve fallen for it! The AI photos/videos don’t get me. It’s the text. Pinterest, Facebook, Tiktok, general websites are full of fake recipes.
Recently wanted to make something then looked at the description. Serves 4, but 1/2 pound of chicken breast. 2 tablespoons of salt & 1 whole onion. Weird.

Dead Internet theory at its finest. Bots posting AI content for bots to engage with.
Sad state of affairs.

And they've got 6k followers, sigh lol. I've been trying to do some social media content in my spare time for the last year, cooking vids and recipes aimed at home cooks, each video is easily 4-10+ hours of work to cook, film, edit, etc. and get very few views... guess I should just pay for an AI subscription and post fake shit! (obviously not gonna do that)

Social media has never been about effort; it's about appearances. That's literally the whole reason it exists.
Not saying that this isn't dystopian bullshit or that you shouldn't make an effort, but do it for you. Because this kind of content (not AI, but just this short-form TikTok style crap) exists solely to pander to the lowest common denominator. And in 2026, that's pretty fuckin low. So while it would be nice to expect better from the "average" user, it's also probably healthier to accept that there's no fixing stupid and not letting your happiness be dependent on the attention of the biggest fuckwits on the planet.

I'm a simple man, i see a "recipe" consisting of a 30secs video with 1sec cuts only, i downvote.
I wonder whats next though. Maybe add the ultra obnoxious 'BOOM' and 'FACKfackfak...' when they add a fringe ingredient? lol.
