Shitty AI art hot dogs aside (seriously why do you need AI hotdog “photos”), this is kind if a nothing article. They even rightfully point out, “The study has limitations. For example, the research does not prove direct cause and effect.” Correlation is not causation and all that. It boils down to have things in moderation, including processed meats. Something health experts have been saying for decades.
I’m not sure this is generative rather than really shitty Photoshopping (no reason it can’t be both). That it’s a square makes the former a distinct possibility, but the level of sharpening in the condiment cup tops alongside the blurry fries where the effect spills over to the cup bases is jarring.
For the dogs themselves, that looks like standard food staging for a shoot. If this is generated, the model certainly was trained on using Elmer’s glue with food dye for mustard. It’s absurd that we’ve hit the point of needing art with every story, but at least this isn’t a filer of crime scene tape in front of police cars with the lights going.
Yeah, it’s not the most egregious example, and I think the combo of bad Photoshop and generative AI is probably close to the mark. That being said, if an outlet uses AI, I am far less likely to trust them in general.
