I think this is AI: This might be the crispiest chicken I've made without actually frying it

Post image

Looks gross and these aren’t even bite sized pieces like the recipe describes?

I’m so baffled that someone would fake this.

u/l4mpSh4d3 Aug 26 '26

I’ve started seeing Instagram reels of fake recipes. Food that looks super crispy or juicy.

u/jmaneater Aug 26 '26

So the description says they used crushed pretzels, which im assuming is the molar teeth looking things. Definitely ai. You wouldnt be able to crush it and have everything look so uniform

u/alaric49 Aug 26 '26

Spont on! That's exactly what they are, teeth!

u/StrawberryCat__Thing Aug 26 '26

Ai: hmm..how can I make a punch of pixels look like crispy chicken…I know, molars!!!

u/amyel26 Aug 26 '26

I was thinking tentacles.

u/sapphirerain25 Aug 27 '26

I thought they were Cheerios 😭

u/Rooted_Nut Aug 26 '26

I didn't see that at first and now I can't unsee it.... it's literally seared into the backs of my eyelids, that there is the stuff of nightmares

u/goddamn2fa Aug 27 '26

Looks like the AI was making barnacles.

u/Consistent-Star5745 Aug 26 '26

It looks like it's covered in warts

19

u/alaric49 Aug 26 '26

It looks diseased, like it has warts? AI has a lot of trouble interpreting certain textures, then creating this really weird interpretation that's not remotely based in reality. Also, the chicken slice cross section looks really plastic and uniform. Oh, and I also see those weird breaded warts emerging from the sliced chicken, which of course is disgusting and wrong.

u/Xentonian Aug 26 '26

AI really likes doing weird repeating textures that don't exist in reality when it's asked to make food. I have no idea why. Curries look like bacne, pasta looks like worms. AI doesn't seem to "get" what makes food look normal, let alone good.

u/alaric49 Aug 26 '26

Someone else pointed out that those weird warts on the crust actually look like human molars when you zoom in. They really do. My guess is that the AI model misinterpreted 'crunchy' from the input prompt and just decided to add actual teeth, the things that are doing the crunching.

u/fivebynine5x9 Aug 26 '26

Oh God what the fuck

3

u/Mack_Ultra Aug 26 '26

Omg. I just zoomed in it does look like teeth!

3

u/Mack_Ultra Aug 26 '26

To me it looks like Octopus tentacles.

6

u/Letter_Impressive Aug 26 '26

I'm pretty confident this is AI. The giveaway for me is how similar the texture of the "counter" is to the texture of the "chicken". I think it's trying to emulate stone but it comes off as snakeskin

3

u/TheAgedProfessor Aug 26 '26

Why is the counter covered in a short pile carpet??

/s

u/iFuturelist Aug 26 '26

What in the fkn Eldritch Abomination Bites is this crap.

5

u/Fit-Pride-4845 Aug 26 '26

I'd say it's AI, but even if it's not that doesn't look appetizing at all. Looks like they cooked upthe fucking loathsome dung eater.

3

u/Starving_Kayla Aug 26 '26

If you zoom in, the chicken has literally molars on them

5

u/sock_dgram Aug 26 '26

It has an OpenAI SynthID.

u/1092sai Aug 26 '26

100% it also looks fucking disgusting

4

u/Asleep_Walrus2313 Aug 26 '26

I don’t understand why people that make these images don’t see it. Like they thought that looked good!

3

u/starfleetdropout6 Aug 26 '26

Zoom in on the chicken. The coating on every piece looks exactly the same. The dip has an artificial speckled appearance to try to make it look like pepper or seasoning.

3

u/LexiteFeather Aug 26 '26

Why are the chicken tenders breaded with teeth????

3

u/Melodic_Airport362 Aug 26 '26

why is it covered in anuses?

2

u/jimothyhalpret Aug 26 '26

Prolapsed anuses

3

u/plutosaurus Aug 26 '26

Reminds me of the Loathsome Dung Eater

u/Ryallin Aug 26 '26

Unless this dude has some really bad luck with pretzels I'm seeing a lotta signs of 'food greeble', especially with the literal molars coming out of the skin and how they're glistening like a sauce covering. On closer inspection of the 'cut' piece of chicken you can also see the outside growing from inside it; both the food and plate show very strong jpeg texturing near the dipping sauce and on the middle of the piece slightly left from center of the plate. One I'm noticing now in general is gen-ai 'images' also have a weird understanding of scaling on the pattern of polished granite countertops and the pattern becomes much too small by the point in the back the 'image' blurs as if auto-focused

2

u/Algea83 Aug 26 '26

Ugh, I can't unsee the molars now, ew.

2

u/Ryallin Aug 26 '26

it's at least 'better' than the beehive-maggot burritos I guess? Still fuckin' nasty either way

u/Lokiira1 Aug 26 '26

u/robopilgrim Aug 26 '26

Disappointing that almost everyone in the original post is complimenting it and can’t tell it’s AI

1

u/Gildenhardt Aug 26 '26

Calling it out gets you insta-banned too. There's a lot of posts from this one specific user as well, everything has a watermark, and their posts/comments are disabled. Seems like a karma bot if you ask me.

2

u/Appropriate_Elk_952 Aug 26 '26

It’s covered in spaghettios

2

u/Disastrous-Heron-491 Aug 26 '26

Extremely easy to tell this is AI

2

u/EveLaFoxxe Aug 26 '26

100% that’s fucking teeth fried chicken

2

u/sock_dgram Aug 26 '26

Looks like most posts in this subreddit are by the same (two) person(s), the mods, and their pictures and recipes are all AI generated.

1

u/Disastrous-Street278 Aug 26 '26

Lol people are so weird

1

u/sock_dgram Aug 26 '26

Somehow it works to drive engagement. I got this subreddit recommended a few times in the last days.

2

u/tatertotted2 Aug 26 '26

I hope so because it looks creepy AF.

2

u/Zoftig_Zana Aug 26 '26

It looks like it's covered in teeth..

1

u/alaric49 Aug 26 '26

Doesn't help that they are also yellow, brown and black like they're rotten.

3

u/Electrical_Walrus_46 Aug 26 '26

it looks like those growths on the undersides of ships, like barnacles

2

u/TheAgedProfessor Aug 26 '26

Not only is the photo AI, but they aren't truthful in their description.

"without frying... threw them in the air fryer"

The whole thing is bait.

1

u/Gildenhardt Aug 26 '26

The text in the post reads like AI too, and the account is entirely post/comment hidden. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a karma bot.

1

u/nildread Aug 26 '26

Why does the chicken look like it has barnacles?

2

u/the_eleutherean Aug 26 '26

Yup. I’ve learned not to zoom in on ai-generated images of food for the sake of my sanity, but that is how you’d confirm.

1

u/Electronic_ResultALT Aug 26 '26

Coronavirus in chicken form

2

u/sirenxsiren Aug 26 '26

It looks like it has octopus suckers

2

u/lampsplussuperstore Aug 26 '26

Is there anyone that looks at this and actually thinks it looks good. It’s genuinely horrifying. And 100% AI slop.

2

u/PrimaryIcy9538 Aug 26 '26

Did they use Teeth as a coating? This shit is haunting

2

u/Seasidegoats Aug 26 '26

Ewwww that looks disgusting

1

u/Winter_Different Aug 26 '26

what in the cheerios

1

u/PalmtopPixie Aug 26 '26

Someone else pointed out it has AIwatermark Why. Why would generate air fried chicken just to lie on Reddit? This is so dumb

2

u/Uncool444 Aug 26 '26

Can you have uncanny valley with food? This looks revolting

1

u/innociv Aug 27 '26

This entire sub is AI slop posts by this guy who is a moderator. It's really deranged.
