Three Arms and Blurry Faces: Restaurant's AI Images Spark Outrage
6 Nov
Summary
- Restaurant criticized for using AI-generated images with visible errors.
- AI images appeared to depict a woman with three arms, sparking debate.
- Concerns raised over lack of transparency in AI content creation.
The Ivy restaurant in Glasgow has drawn criticism for its use of AI-generated images, which featured apparent errors such as a woman with three arms. The restaurant's Instagram post initially suggested the images were created by "in-house designers," leading to accusations of attempting to pass off AI content as human artwork. Glasgow-based illustrator Sophy Louise Smith was among those who pointed out the inaccuracies and advocated for clearer labeling of AI-generated content.
Smith emphasized the importance of transparency, stating that simply using AI does not equate to human creation and that businesses should be upfront about their methods. She suggested that brands should be required to disclose AI usage, similar to advertising regulations. The Ivy has responded by stating their in-house creative team utilizes a range of technologies, including AI, alongside traditional creative specialists, and they continue to support local talent.
