A local small-business pizza restaurant that I frequent is now heavily using #AI for all their marketing. Their logo is replaced with AI slop. Their promotions use AI slop images. They haven’t replaced their menu images yet (it was the same ones they used from before), but I wonder if any new items will have an actual photo. I will not be going there again. I wasn’t going to tell the staff that I won’t be returning because of the AI imagery because I really need to talk to the store owner about it, so I did the next best thing and wrote a Yelp review to that effect. I think it’s important to tell business owners that they are losing customers because of their use of AI slop. A lot of them are using it without realizing that it will repulse some people, and I think we need to close the feedback loop.
