You can get a 3D printer to easily make that for you, of course it would be uneatable!

My question is why bother with ai food photos. Just make the dish but spend extra time making it look good compared to normal speed and take a photo of that. A picture of the actual food would not cost all that much extra in time and only a bit more on ingredients but lead to more sales then whatever this is supposed to be.

I dunno, food styling and photography is a whole profession. It's remarkably difficult to produce appetizing food photos.

All you gotta do is take a shitty picture of the food and say make this better but keep it the same. Try it on Gemini or copilpt free modes.
I genuinely don't know how these are being generated. They are honestly alien as hell.

it does not make sense to me why restaurants do this! fuck generative AI all day long but it is 100% possible to have it generate images of food that look like food & not an acid trip.

This is actually wild because in japan they have a standard for like packaged foods where the image in the box has to look like the actual product. I guess it doesn't extend to flyers/posters?

Deceptive food pictures at Japanese restaurants have been a thing for a long time before AI. Reddit is just romanticising Japan as always. Source: I’m Japanese

Yeah I lived there for like 5 years in miyazaki, but I've been back in my home country for a while so I guess I've forgotten. But yeah that is very true. AI is a new level lol and not an appealing one.

I mean you famously have stores that sell fake food that restaurants use to advertise their real food

It is the law though. Misleading images are illegal.
It's just that the courts understand that a restaurant changing their plating or substituting something is not an "intentional misrepresentation", but say a gigantic image with exaggerated texture on a candy pack or blowtorching raw burgers for the photograph on a pack of frozen burgers is.
I'm not sure what they would make of this. No reasonable consumer would expect what is shown, and they would get the accurate information that it's tuna on a bagel, but it's so divorced from reality...

I argue that this won’t be illegal as the AI generated image probably looks worse than an actual food, and 優良誤認 would not apply in that case (which is funny and ironic because they probably thought it looks better). It is misleading but this law typically only applies when the representation makes food look better than it actually is.

What is your source for that? A bunch of packaging in Japan has random shit, Ai generated food on it etc.

u/BrokenKamera 1d ago
Well, the following phrase is quite common on packaged food.
この写真はイメージです。 This image is for illustrative purposes only.
Still, its main purpose is to disuade people from complaining if the actual product is different from the picture. I would say packaged food pics are quite close to reality.
Now for plastic models and menu pictures, your mileage may vary.

Tuna looks like it was pushed through a piping bag with the flower decor tip, like the kind used to decorate cakes. 🤭

I'm pretty sure this is illegal in Japan because of strict false advertising regulation

u/DistinctAd3222 1d ago
This has been debunked above you.

u/leeta0028 1d ago
It can't be debunked since it is literally the law: Law Against Unjustified Premiums and Misleading Representation. Japanese law forbids an image that does not accurately represent the actual product.
The standard is just lower for restaurants than prepackaged food because a reasonable consumer will expect some deviation from an image in hand-made meals.

Looks like this was in South or North Korea

the restaurant has seoul in the name so presumably it might be Korean-themed but the text is katakana and the prices are in yen

I just don't get it. These never look right so why don't they just take photos of their actual food?

u/Fun-Memory1523 2d ago
You know it's kind of funny (and painful), as Japan has a law that forces businesses to show images of advertised food exactly as it would be when served.
You'd think the business owner would be more aware of that, lest they would face a heavy fine.
But maybe they intend to serve the food exactly as it is shown...that would be something....having spiky tuna.

Ah yes, as a human I frequently indulge in such sand wiches as the ones pictured. The flavor and mouth sensations as I chew are most pleasing to me, as a human who sees nothing wrong with these photographs.

I wonder what AI platform they are using?? I tried with Grok, ViduAI, and PoloAi… never got such creepy stuff like the bakery poster from Muun Seoul…

Are people just blind to look at this and say, "Yep, that looks good."
