That’s not what’s happening here.

The AI tools can be used to generate descriptions for menu items and summarize customer reviews to quickly highlight feedback regarding areas of the business that need improvement. Uber Eats also says it’s using AI to “detect and enhance low-quality food images” on menus, either by making changes to lighting, resolution, and framing, or editing the food onto different plates or backgrounds. The example images provided by Uber Eats suggest that this feature may also use generative AI to make adjustments to the food itself, such as expanding it or filling in any gaps when digitally re-plating.

For menu items that don’t have any images at all, Uber Eats will also now allow customers to upload a photograph of their own order when leaving a review.

so user pictures appear to be separate from restaurant/ai images.
