- The author visited a Filipino/Hawaiian restaurant that had been recommended, but was disappointed to find the menu had been redesigned using AI-generated images.
- The AI-generated food photos were described as uncanny, ugly, and disturbing, contrasting sharply with the actual dishes served.
- Despite the poor menu design, the food (spamsilog) was comforting and reminiscent of home-cooked meals, creating a conflict between supporting local businesses and disliking their use of generative AI.
- The author would prefer any other font or design style over AI-generated graphics, and notes that many small businesses are adopting AI due to ignorance or slim margins.
