Surprised to see no acknowledgement of how "AI Menu Slop" has become deeply associated with ChatGPT. Everywhere I go now I see places that blatantly used ChatGPT for their menus or posters and they all look the same. It feels almost existential to the service, I know its a bit of survivor bias but so many images you can tell immediately are ChatGPT vs other image providers, and I feel many people are sick of them.

What if I told you.. the average person LIKES ai slop images and prefers them to "regular" ones. The same way the average person prefers McDonalds food to healthy food

Omg, I love how the first examples just show how easy you can fake things. Fake being at a party with your friends. Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it. The sad part is my mother would love "remixing" my old child photos of me.

Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it.

Except you need to have taken a photo of the unmade bed, uploaded it to ChatGPT, prompted for the 'fake made bed' version, and downloaded the image.

Surely it's less effort to just make the bed?

It's not like a lot of these small-time outfits used their own photography to begin with. They'd pick a kebab from a menu of professionally made kebab pictures the printer has in stock. Or worse, they'd take pics of their own plated food with a dead-centre point flash in a dark cupboard or something and you end up with awful-looking food, no matter how good.

It's still more honest than generating virtual kebab.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I see a lot of the slop posters in real life now and I hate them

I still don't know if I hate them because they are visually slop, or that the businesses farmed out sign creation to the slop machine

All of the above for me.

The "composite party photo", while impressive, shows that still the miniscule details are being lost, like the teeth structure of the guy in the middle or the fact that the guy on the left is holding the cup with three fingers. Wondering why they chose this edit for the showcase.

And don't forget the 'Thing' from Addams Family in the shoulder of the guy on the left.

The guy on the left in that same photo only has three fingers (and a thumb, I suppose). I thought image generation has already outlived that.

Edit: I feel stupid I didn't see the original OP already mentioning three finger issue. I'll just leave it here.

This is an artificial modern world problem. For thousands of years people have told embellished stories, and humanity has thrived upon it. Tall tales, fish stories. Heck, that's still the average person's experience unless they've really worked their critical thinking muscles. Today's working adults are used to the short thirty-year "safe space" of smartphones and internet. We grew up in a temporary meta stability wh…
