I hope my local kebab shops switch to this for their signs.

If they wanna loose customers...

Not OP but my guess is that they're already using bad AI images for their kebab business, and OP wants them to use better AI for their images (so they may actually lose fewer customers because the AI imagery isn't so awful)

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.

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.

I'm not sure if I'm working with ChatGPT Images 2.5 or 2.0 here...

The original photo I took was at https://www.reddit.com/r/Tovala/comments/1pfuwrb/meatloaf_pa... - it's a cheeseburger meatloaf with potato wedges taken with a phone camera. And I was going for a consistent documentation approach for the photograph, not trying for menu proper.

I suspect that someone doing a menu could take a properly plated meal from the kitchen (rather than me photographing on top of my oven) and have it get redone for a good image for a menu without fundamentally changing what is being served.

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.

>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?

Memory already declines with age. AI slop threatens to warp those memories further.

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?

Not in the past I guess?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

would you like a carbon receipt for your video gaems, netflix, and reddit sessions?

Sure, why not.

A big wtf at the LM Arena scores: https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-image

gpt-image-2.5-sunburst: 1421

gpt-image-2.5-flare: 1399

gpt-image-2 (medium): 1381

mai-image-2.6: 1331

Even with LM Arena being flawed, this is significant. I was planning to do a writeup on the original gpt-image-2 as it crushed every complex image comprehension benchmark I had...I'm glad I procrastinated since ChatGPT Images 2.5 seems like an even better starting point to test out what these models can actually do nowadays.

Many people still think AI images output the wrong number of fingers on a regular basis. (EDIT: this was an ironic comment to make in hindsight and I own it)

Seriously, are these really the best examples they could come up with?

What is the point of having a fake picture of your dog in a costume? What’s the point of having a fake picture about being at a party?

The only use case I can think of for this is for someone who likes to make up stories and lie about what they’ve done. Is that really the target market?
