Why Ugly AI Menu Redesigns Are Hurting Small Businesses

Businesses with ugly AI menu redesigns

I visited a Filipino restaurant that recently replaced its menu with AI-generated images, resulting in an uncanny and unappetizing design. While the food tasted like home-cooked comfort, the disturbing visuals highlight a growing trend where small businesses blindly adopt generative AI without artistic ownership. I would rather see a menu in Comic Sans than this low-effort garbage, as it undermines the genuine charm of local eateries.
