Most customers are not Lemmy users. Slapping some pics into a document and just printing that out has never looked good. That was more acceptable for small businesses in the past, but now it's so cheap and easy to make it look more professional using some AI prompts. Skipping that step looks like much lower effort.
It's fine to hate AI, but when someone has a family to feed and employees to pay, it's understandable if they have to be a bit more open-minded.
I don't think the AI prompt is the issue. The problem with these shit posters is using fake food or fake pictures. I want authenticity and refusing to show it over some disingenuous CGI slop is just plain bad.
Also, I don't want to see what this dish/product looks like in theory, I want to see what I'm about to buy
Neither does AI slop
It doesn't make it look more professional. It makes it look like they're cheapskates and assholes.
They're the same picture dot jif
