"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The AI food on the poster looks absolutely horrifying, especially that "slaw" and "pulled pork". Why would anyone think people would find that appetizing or draw anyone inside? Even if it didn't look fake like plastic toy food, people want to see photos of the actual food you are selling, not a bizarre "concept" of the food. Huge mistake but the fact that they still don't understand why people reacted negatively is not a good sign for their business.
They got some company to do this. AI generated and no one with artistic training to vet it before delivery.
Stellantis did the same thing with AI generated ads for RAM trucks that generated images of Toyota trucks, US flag with 40 stars, which may be accurate in a few years.
