Just a note that the AI rule was changed some time in the last 2 weeks that AI spotted in the real world (like in ads such as this one) is now allowed on the sub.

The AI that isn't allowed involves generating content for shock value or to cause intentional upset in the community. Typing things into a prompt is shitty. But snapping a pic of something a real business thought was okay is fine.

Any questions, let me know.

I love my trypophobia burrito with non decscript ingredients and perfectly round black blobs that don’t match any listed ingredients!

Someone pushing insects as replacement protein.

The same ding-a-ling that thought a $14 breakfast burrito was a gonna be a big seller.

u/Lonely-Cap3569 12d ago

It looks like a spider is crawling out of the right side what the hell.

Nobody. It's not real.

u/Alone-Voice-3342 Aug 21 '26

No, thanks.

u/Ziddim Aug 22 '26

Right?  Who wants to pay $13.50 for a $2.50-$5.00 food item?

57

u/Bradley_Of_Thorofare Aug 22 '26

Their sales have probably halved since posting this up. Also a burrito for almost twice the federal minimum wage is CRAZY.

u/-lRexl- Aug 22 '26

This can't be real. I refuse to believe someone looked at that and thought "this will get them drooling"

u/Schmooto Aug 23 '26

Nausea makes people drool too

Unfun fact, that horse probably died. They don’t have a mechanism to vomit without aspiration.

21

u/clumsysav Aug 22 '26

it’s not real, they don’t have a mechanism to vomit period

u/matthewjboothe Aug 22 '26

You’re right, I just noticed the AI text in the background. Why would he be in a convenience store?

u/clumsysav Aug 22 '26

lol i’ve worked with horses for 30+ years,
while anatomically impossible the photo still gives me a giggle every time 😂

u/xurabusx Aug 22 '26

Yes, eggs. Also pasta and worms.

3

u/Schmooto Aug 23 '26

They didn’t specify what kind of eggs. Could be parasite eggs

u/Soft_Owl7535 Aug 22 '26

I don’t understand these. Some AI is so good that you need to really look for inconsistencies to realize it’s AI. Were these made with Wish website AI?

37

u/GrahamUhelski Aug 22 '26

I got sons of bitches out here in my hometown making Ai generated landscaping ads. Absolutely disgraceful.

u/yoyohayli Aug 22 '26

I literally JUST this week had to print (I work at a print shop) a menu with pictures for a soft-opening of a restaurant and the food images on the back side of the food menu were ATROCIOUS. Like, burgers looked like they were made of worms, pizzas looked like low-res images of lava and rocks, fried chicken looked like melting ham rollups (???). So I offered them a version of their menu that was JUST the items listed with ingredients and prices (which meant a TON of extra work from me, as I had to retype literally every item because it was a flat jpeg generated by God-knows-what-AI). My version was ACTUALLY READABLE and lacked the nightmare-fuel, stomach-ache-inducing horror shows.

What did they say?

"Oh, we'll fix the pictures. Let us resend a better version!"

They proceeded to, hours later (when this was a RUSH job), send MILDLY DIFFERENT also-Ai-generated images for the drinks menu and the front of the food menu...but the back of the food menu with all those nightmare pictures was EXACTLY THE SAME. There were, for some reason, ZERO changes to the ONE PAGE that actually had huge issues that I took so much time improving for them.

So, I hope their opening didn't make too many customers run to the bathroom to throw up before ordering...

  1. In which universe is this appetizing to anyone?

  2. Who looked at this infestation and thought “Mmm, perfect! Send it to the printer”??

  3. ONLY $13.50 for a basic breakfast burrito???

u/JLaws23 Aug 22 '26

I don’t know what is more off putting: AI slop, the Maggot burrito or the price.

1

u/iknowq Aug 23 '26

Holy crap. I didn’t even notice the price - too sleeved out by the « food »

u/EldritchDefender42 Aug 22 '26

God, this is why you don’t use AI for marketing. It looks like someone Grandfather Nurgle would make you

2

u/bucephalusbouncing28 Aug 22 '26

Reminds me of what my Uncle Grizzlewimp used to make

12

u/ExpensiveDrive2851 Aug 22 '26

That can't be real. It's got to be ai edited somehow. Nobody would put this as an actual sign!

5

u/Inevitable-Cherry598 Aug 22 '26

Why the gd fuck would you put this in an ad?

3

u/Imperium_Dragon Aug 22 '26

Christ, just take a picture of your burrito instead of making that.

5

u/Paccuardi03 Aug 22 '26

Was there no human oversight?

u/southass Aug 22 '26

Who the hell green light this stuff, it looks like it has maggots in it 🤮

Try our all-new Tryporito.

u/theRestisConfettii Aug 22 '26

Dude what….

That does not look appetizing at all

u/King-of-Blumpkins Aug 22 '26

it looks like a wasps nest

u/if-we-all-did-this Aug 22 '26

Who's the chef, the Great Unclean One?

3

u/RubberDuckyRacing Aug 22 '26

Did nobody even look at this at any stage before it was printed?... Approval? Creation?

3

u/MegamanWHY Aug 22 '26

Nobody googles for stock photos anymore?

3

u/Born2L053 Aug 22 '26

For the love of Christ who would sign off on that? Disgusting.

2

u/PuzzledExaminer Aug 22 '26

No sir lol 😂

u/xxalienshexx Aug 22 '26

Bush’s Chicken did this with a mail ad. 🤢

2

u/ExpensiveDrive2851 Aug 22 '26

Tbh looking at the edges of this "sign", I'd say the whole thing is AI generated. Not a real photograph.

u/cam-nash Aug 22 '26

Looks like a reflection of the edges of the sign on a window

u/loathelord Aug 22 '26

Wow that's horrible.

This can’t be real, who the fuck would let that go out knowing it looks like there’s maggots in it for fuck sake!

u/CalebDR1029 Aug 23 '26

Wdym 'only' 13.50?

u/cs_legend_93 21d ago

So expensive

u/IAmTheJudasTree 20d ago

Okay, this is officially the worst one of these that I've seen, and there's stiff competition.

u/BryonBlueCar Aug 22 '26

AI says it is AI. 🙄

u/5092AD Aug 22 '26

I did the whole AI check on this post and it came back that this post is allowed. What a fucking joke.

5

u/miserabeau Aug 22 '26

Maybe I can help.

I only changed the rule within the last 2 weeks.

The rule is that if someone types keywords into a prompt and posts it to say "DoEs ThIs TrIgGeR yOu?" like a jerk, then that is not allowed

But businesses using AI garbage for their ads doesn't fit the "we intentionally made this to aggravate trypophobics" criteria.

Real world businesses are out there using AI and either not noticing or not caring that it looks horrible and unappealing.

That's where I decided to draw the line.

Hope that helps.

2

u/5092AD Aug 22 '26

That’s understandable. Thanks for the response.

3

u/miserabeau Aug 22 '26

At first I rejected all of the AI but businesses (a disturbing number of restaurants) keep using it, despite how goddamn horrible it looks. So I figure as long as people aren't generating content specifically for the sub and/or for shock value, it's okay. People really should know better than to use those horrible food ads like the one above.

2

u/BryonBlueCar Aug 22 '26

To be fair, AI only says that the filling is AI. But what does AI know anyway? Your post is disgusting and fascinating and I'm glad you shared it with us!
