Businesses with ugly AI menu redesigns

A Filipino-American diner expresses frustration after discovering that a local Filipino/Hawaiian restaurant redesigned its menu using AI-generated images, finding the results aesthetically jarring and "uncanny." While acknowledging that small businesses have tight margins and often use AI out of ignorance rather than malice, the author argues that poorly designed AI menu images detract from the dining experience and would prefer traditional, even poorly-designed fonts over AI-generated food photos.
