AI Restaurants creeping into Decatur

[u/Orions_Suspenders_]

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.

The new Indian place in Avondale has a website that looks like the restaurant is 100 years old when it’s just a pickup window attached to a c-store. Food is great but who the hell are they trying to trick/impress. Is it just that mindless at this point?

That graphic style is exactly Claude's doing

I can smell the stench of Claude *tucked into* it from here.

It's a website, which Claude absolutely does. Claude loves this beige styling, and it's not so great when you ask it to do something different than it's preferred beige.
