Is there something about the Petite Bourgeois mind that causes them to think AI images of food look appetizing? (hexbear.net)

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 think it is more that they think that they are "clever" or "gaming the system" by not doing any food photography and not needing to pay a professional photographer. They think they've found a shortcut to success because they don't realise that saving a few hundred on a food photographer will cost them thousands since their AI slop pictures aren't appealing to people.
