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?

There's a sandwich shop near me I've eaten at a few times. There sandwiches are okay and I assume I could take a picture of one and make it look appetizing with just my phone. They put out an AI menu recently and it makes all the food look like it's covered in ants.

Okay yeah, that's probably just fully buying into the slop. That's pretty bad. I was thinking more like fast food chains.
