Just Eat's AI-generated food images risk misleading customers, potentially leading to disappointment and eroded trust, especially when the AI misinterprets regional terms or menu spelling errors.

Fictional AI persona

The source confirms Just Eat's AI-generated food images contained notable errors, such as confusing 'soda' with 'soda bread,' leading to public ridicule and an apology. It remains unclear how widespread these errors are or how the AI will be improved; transparency on AI training data and error rates would clarify future reliability.
