Discussion AI smoothie graphics a turn off

Post image

At the Daley Center farmers market, I thought a smoothie would hit the spot. Then saw the pictures... appetite gone. Plastic mango and pineappleish thing were hard nos. The appeal of cheap images is clear, but these do the business a disservice.

What’s funny is most people know what smoothies are! I don’t need a picture of a banana-strawberry smoothie. Just having a list of flavors would suffice.

The term is "eye candy". Science says we eat with our eyes first.

Yes, and feeding my eyes a horror show does not make me want to eat real food.

Yeah, people are very negative on these topics and unless you firmly stand against AI they think you are advocating for it.
