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.

I think quite a lot of people can distinguish between AI and real (maybe 30%?) but almost no one is worried about distinguishing between ChatGPT and other image generators

Great idea, get an AI art tattoo so you can always be reminded how AI art looked in 2026.

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

I love them because while not perfect it’s a good way to filter out businesses that don’t have good taste.

Having a lot of fun with my son using an image of him and dressing him in all kinds of costumes. How is that depressing to you?

I think every restaurant on Uber Eats in my area uses AI slop or, minimally, AI "enhanced" food pictures.

The sheer waste that accompanies image and video genAI is actually terrifying.

I challenge OpenAI to put a "your carbon footprint" field next to each generation. If you have nothing to hide, more information is surely better, right?

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.

I'm guessing if you work on these images the whole day you start to lose the ability to judge image quality. like your brain becomes slopified

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.

How is that sad? Why is your mothers joy sad?
