Businesses with ugly AI menu redesigns

In one line

I like supporting local businesses but it’s so disheartening to see the increasing use of genAI in their branding/marketing/etc. Yuck yuck YUCK!!!

Opening excerpt

I stopped by a Filipino/Hawaiian (mostly filipino) restaurant/bar that was recommended to me a few months ago by someone I met at an AANHPI event. One of my friends that was eating with us had gone many times before and said they enjoyed the menu.

As a Filipino-American I always get curious about Filipino restaurants because a lot of our dishes are family-style/comfort food, so it’s always interesting to see what foods will be on the menu.

To our disappointment (did I mention the friend group I was eating with are my artist friends and we had just gone to a doodle date meetup?) the restaurant revamped their menu with AI. NO!

The worst part is that I frequently work with small businesses in Austin and know that this is from a place of complete ignorance rather than feeling a sense of ownership in art/design they did not do.
