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?

They're designed to grab people's attention, nothing more. It has no artistic or representative value, it's purpose is to get you to look at their menu and see the offer, which will get your mind to conjure up the sensation of the food listed for them anyways, maybe they will also add a free 99 sale.

Yeah but most people seem repulsed by them. I don't think this strat is going to pay off well.

I feel like there's a big chunk of people that just don't say anything about it because they either don't notice, they don't care, or even worse, they think it's cool...
