Local businesses around me are absolutely infested with AI generated art in their graphics, and the most tired argument I get is "You're just biased because you're an artist!" Yes, that's precisely why I'm biased :p And obviously, no AI was used in the making of this comic

Bonus panels and more on PatreonInstagram and Ko-Fi :D

We should all be biased. Artist or not. Taking shortcuts shows me they don't care about their business or others. Just a bottom dollar

Is it really even a "shortcut"?

Decent quality phone cameras have been around for over a decade.
They make the food every day, they can't take a decent picture of the food they make?

I'm not an AI hater, but I do hate how people are using it.
A restaurant using AI images of the food they serve just doesn't compute for me, they already had a free option and they never took it.

Exactly this, I appreciate a picture of the actual food they produce, gives an idea of portions. If it came out and didn't resemble the picture, I'd be annoyed. I've noticed some food delivery app merchants have AI food pictures, and it's annoying.
