After that he should have been the main one to run it.

They have done similar tests with coloring white wines, and putting the same wine in different bottles so the price point appears to vary widely. I still stand by the only wine advice worth following-if you enjoy drinking it, it’s a good wine.

It’s still AI shit, doesn’t matter if it’s created for satirical purposes…

I can’t imagine a current-gen AI image generator coming up with something that interesting. (A previous gen one might have, as an accident…) The images I’m seeing are physically impossible in boring ways - e.g. parts of the product don’t have anything supporting them, so they’re effectively floating, for instance.

Wow! It’s a Tumblr breach! 
I’m always happy to spot that story floating around out in the wild! I almost hurt myself laughing the first time I read that.

Those scallop pictures are awfully good. I don’t think I would have spotted them as AI at all.

If they really wanted to double-down, they could create a snooty restaurant shell, with a ghost kitchen supplying the food.

Hard to believe that a paper which has employed Boris Johnson, Daniel Hannan, James Delingpole, Julia Hartley Brewer and Taki Theodoracopulos doesn’t have the very highest of journalistic standards.

As a former 30+ year Austinite, I can say that, given the current version of Austin in 2024, this is one of the most Austin things ever for this moment in time.
Austin has long been a bountiful habitat for pranksters and counterculture.
Yep.
Good to know Austin still has its goofy ol’ “make 'em laugh” moments, frosted with cultural criticism, sprinkled with absurdity.
It’s still a fun magical place if you know where and when to look.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets slapped with an eel.

I don’t see that it needs to be for anything more than laughs. Satire is fine. Satire on AI and ultrasuperhypermegaultimate cheffery and dining, at the same time, is great. Hey, if ya got the software, find it fun, and can spare the time & money, why not?

OMG, they were so close to something actually funny here if they had named him “Geronimo Fusilli”. Italian for Jerry (Jerome).

Because AI is shit. Including its extra-thirsty energy usage.

But… but… FUN! /s
For real, though. I wish more of us could try and think larger than “well, am I entertained, even if it’s has consequences for others or the planet… then it must be okay…” Strikes me as a byproduct of our extreme cultural individualism…
