businesses with ugly AI menu redesigns!!! 13 ▲ fiddery 65 days ago · Food · hide · 1 comments I stopped by a Filipino/Hawaiian (mostly filipino) restaurant/bar that was recommended to me a few months ago by someone I met at an AANHPI event. One of my friends that was eating with us had gone many times before and said they enjoyed the menu. We looked up the menu before heading over. As a Filipino-American I always get curious about Filipino restaurants because a lot of our dishes are family-style/comfort food, so it’s always interesting to see what foods will be on the menu. To our disappointment (did I mention the friend group I was eating with are my artist friends and we had just gone to a doodle date meetup?) the restaurant revamped their menu with AI. NO! So ill. I hate it. Uncanny. UGH. The worst part is that I frequently work with small businesses in Austin and know that this is from a place of complete ignorance rather than feeling a sense of ownership in art/design they did not do. People see button. They press. NO!!! The disturbing uncanny-like look of all these… Log in to reply on the Fediverse. Comments will appear here. drsudo @drsudo@mastodon.sdf.org 62 days ago [-] Eww! I would have lost my appetite. They would have done better just to stick cell-phone camera shots of their dishes into the menu.This is about as bad as those QR code menus that started popping up after COVID. Now that I think about it, AI is another epoch, like COVID was (and not much more welcome).
