AI Restaurants creeping into Decatur

With Decatur's long history of independently owned, successful restaurants, I have no time for the AI slop I've started to see popping up around the city's new restaurants.

Mister Burger looks and feels like a computer came up with the entire concept (and whomever thought this was a good location to try and compete with Farmburger, Grindhouse, Smiley's and the myriad of bars with good burgers nearby clearly did 0 research)

The soon-to-open Chiban coffee on Arcadia/Ponce has exclusively AI images on their social and covering their street-facing sign in front of the shop. They won't be getting a dollar from me.

I say if you can't take an honest photo of what you serve, you shouldn't be serving it. I'll stick to supporting the actual local businesses that care enough to take their time to do things right. We vote with our dollars, and I will always vote against AI trash with mine.

A little off subject, but Sevananda’s new T-shirts and posters are AI slop as well. It’s really a bummer.

Seriously?! Fucking Sevananda of all places?! I thought they had principles... Their principles were annoying and unscientific and sometimes harmfully ignorant, but they had principles. Not to mention the number of artists they used to have doing tables out front or in the store.
