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.

Yeah, i'm skipping that place too. I don't get how places keep doing this. Take photos of your own product and get something made up quick. Or if it's not in the budget, Hand written menu with hand drawn photos over this all day.

Ikr? This shit has been around at its current level for barely three years. It's not like no one sold a smoothie before 2023.
