I've even seen "AI enthusiasts" admit that AI generated images of food look bad. Also, it's not like you need to hire a graphics designer and professional photographer to take a decent looking photo of a burger and drop it into a Word document, so it's not even like it's saving them money.

So who the fuck is this for?

i'll admit i can tell the difference but i wouldn't say they need to do it lol

Yeah I guess need is a strong word, but I'm pretty sure there were/are enough businesses willing to pay to keep food photographers in business.
