Austin restaurants ditch AI after social media backlash
“we have decided to discontinue the use of AI-generated imagery in our social media content”
What happened
A smoked chicken chain and a bagel shop in Austin, Texas, each posted an apology and said they would stop using AI-made images on social media after customers objected. The bagel shop said its AI-made festival weather post reached more than 600,000 people; its usual posts reach about 200.
