Even before AI deceptive ads by showing renders/etc of a product were a problem, but I think I'd support a law that says any advertised product must show at least one real photo, unedited except for optional background removal, of the product prepared/resting as typical.

Fuuuckkking hell, is the Carlinesque "average person"(1) restaurant operator blind to how ugly these fucking things look? At least give me some obviously painting food images like https://www.etsy.com/listing/1591393721/1950s-vintage-food-i... , rather than obviously AI images of disgusting proto-food... As sibling comment said, maybe this is a good "brown M&M" for restaurants. (1) For the unaware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKN1Q5SjbeI
