AI-generated menu images are being used to cut costs, but diners view them as unappetizing and sometimes misleading, prompting backlash and debate over when AI imagery should be used; industry perspectives range from embracing AI for marketing and efficiency to urging invisible, authentic visuals, with research suggesting AI can subtly alter perceived food appeal and portions.
AI-generated 'slop' imagery is moving from online menus to real-world cafe signs and menus as small businesses use cheaper AI design amid inflation.

Blizzard is addressing player complaints about accidentally activating Premium Battle Passes in Diablo 4 due to menu design. The Season menu includes an option called Activate Premium, which instantly activates the pass without a confirmation prompt.
