This would be fraud would it not?

I used to work customer support for a food delivery app (one of the few left that still has a human support team). We had people send us AI-generated images of trashed fast food meals all the time, trying to get refunds. Half of them wouldn't even crop out the AI logo. This has been widespread for a couple years now.

On one hand, I "get" trying to pull a fast one against a delivery app, since they're generally predatory scumbag companies. But doing this directly to the restaurant is just shitty.

ai scams is going to ruin it for people, even legtimate cases will be used as "no return policies"

AI needs to die down yesterday. If you're a pet owner heed note.

Generative artificial intelligence is driving an unprecedented wave of scams...

Alright, I'm mostly okay with using AI for small, personal, non-obtrusive goals, but bloody hell... that is just plain disgusting...

A gazillion years ago I ordered a pizza delivery from Domino's and when I opened it up there was a beetle scampering about in there. Shut the box and rang them back to tell them.

"We'll send another pizza out and give you your money back."
"Keep the money, keep the pizza, but do send a person to pick this one up...why would I want a pizza from a shop that serves me beetles? This was the last time I'll order."

And it was. Never ever went to Domino's ever again.

If I'm complaining about food to get my money back then I'm just trying to get a free meal.
So if I complain then it's not about me, it's about you and your food. When I order food I am paying for the food and the experience of it, 99% of the time that experience is positive.
