Love the logos, colors, and at the same time simplicity. These are so much more memorable than what you see today which I find to be bland or over the top “grafix”.

  I love that scene and its commentary. Right up there with the Ikea catalog scene in Fight Club

I'm starting to see ChatGPT generated business promotions along the side of the road more and more often and it saddens me. I'd rather have something your daughter doodled on a piece of paper + the title of your company over some obvious AI slop.

  A lot of cheaper restaurants and bodegas in nyc use AI images to show what food they serve and a lot of them have this slightly grotesque quality thats very unappetizing. Almost like a nightmare/ acid trip filter.

    Wow. Talk about the worst uses of AI -- the actual representative pictures of product you're selling. If false advertising law ever got an update, a ban on an AI depiction of one's product itself in an ad or other pre-sale imagery should be added.

      Food companies have used glue or other substances in things like cereal ads (in place of milk) for decades. Unfortunate.

        yeah they do it to make it look more appetizing in the photos Quite the opposite of what is happening here.. they are going the cheap route and use AI instead of a human who knows how to make an appetizing menu.

      It’s wild because of how shockingly easy basic food photography is. Make a plate, set it in front of a window, snap a picture. I think AI is amazing, but equally amazing is people’s laziness and lack of taste when it comes to applying it.
