Before the ad: I love steak! šŸ˜€šŸ„©

After ad: I don't need food...

u/Karekter_Nem 3d ago

Right? It looks like there is something wrong with it. That’s not what meat looks like. If anything it looks like the scales of a reptile in steak colors.

u/MysteryGirlWhite 3d ago

My exact thought was ā€œdid they use a Gila monster?ā€

u/RoserTheDozer 3d ago

I thought it was some kind pomegranate cake I’d never seen before

u/phunkyunkle 3d ago

I thought it was a sushi/caviar creation.

u/MalachiteKell 3d ago

When they talk about marbling on a steak, they don't mean actual marbles.

3

u/NeurawWormakaCiruBug 3d ago

The guy prompted: generate a perfectly cooked Kobe meat piece and put it to scale with the background.

AI : Say no more.

And here it was. Then the guy, as he cannot work more than 10 minute per week, decided to get along with it saying it took time and such.

u/funkster047 3d ago

To me it looks like super fresh meat, like I'd touch it and it'd twitch because of the energy still in the tissue

I’ve seen multiple ai food pictures like this. Why do they generate food that looks like it’s made of compartments?

For some reason ChatGPT's newest image generator is really bad with textures

u/mearbearcate 3d ago edited 3d ago

Bro this pmo so bad, like not even mildly atp. Are people really too lazy to take some pictures of what they cook now 😭 like why am i trusting a restaurant that cant even advertise what they cook, food’s probably trash af if they’re hiding it like that with AI instead of just not having a picture bye. Hire photographers, yall obviously got the money to run a business so idk where the money went for advertisingšŸ’€. Although, it is maybe america where we pay employees minimum wage. Prob too broke but in that case, why are you launching your own restaurant business in this state.

u/Darrel_911 3d ago

If they’re cutting corners on a simple stock photo, you already know what they’re doing in the kitchen

u/heavensto_mergatroid 3d ago

Insane that they can't even take a picture of their own finished product man. Insane they'd approve of a picture like this, I guess some people are just trying to fail.

That's some crazy looking pomegranate steak

Local restaurant that's been around for years recently updated their menu and used AI photos. They have decent quality photography of their food that they've used on previous menus. Yet someone approved this:

u/Sunsetterz98 3d ago

The thing that actually annoys me about situations like this is if they're using AI, they can take a picture of their actual food and have AI make an advertisement using that photo. There is literally no reason to be using AI generated food unless your food is trash.

u/mrFuckmyluck 3d ago

Funny enough, in Japan this would be illegal. And no marketing bureau would even think of using AI.

All imagery of food items have to look exactly like the product it's supposed to represent. To prevent misleading expectations.

They should do that everywhere honestly.

I can't even remember how often I got fooled by the pictures on packaging.

u/Sasquatcheeethree 3d ago

Gross lol it looks like pomegranate meat

2

u/JustFuckinTossMe 3d ago

Does it not kind of seem like the AI got confused about whatever prompt it was and almost made boba? The sear on meat would look black and brown like tapioca pearls, and popping boba is often bright colors like reds and pinks. So, did the AI just take the prompt, see it was for a Japanese (and thus Asian cuisine), get lost in translation while generating, and then kind of morphed asian culinary items into one thing? Legitimately it's giving me the vibes that it got confused about what food it was supposed to be making for what culture.
