A San Francisco restaurant is facing some backlash after the owners used AI to create photos of their menu items. They posted it on their window, not thinking much of it, but what followed were bad reviews and even vandalism.<\/p>\n
Lyndsey Lozano and her husband just opened the doors at Grind and Unwind a couple of months ago, with a focus on serving coffee and pastries made by Lozano herself \u2013 along with drinks at their bar.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a touristy area, we thought let\u2019s put some pictures up, let\u2019s put signs up so they know what we have, it as just a temporary sign, to kind of let everyone know we are here… but it did not get the response we were expecting,\u201d Lozano said.<\/p>\n
She created a sign with pictures of drink and food items and put it on their window, but soon after got a lot of reaction online.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of people were like \u2018If that\u2019s what your food looks like, I don\u2019t want to eat there.\u2019 Adn we thought, we know it\u2019s AI, we\u2019re not pretending we\u2019re something else. Other people were like \u2018Is that really how much effort you put into your business?\u2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
About a week ago, she says someone spray painted what looks to say \u201cseriously\u201d outside.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve now painted over it and she\u2019s taken down the menu she created using AI. Now she\u2019s looking to move forward and is now put her pastries by the window for people to see as they walk by.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re focusing on our good pastries, on our coffee, we have a really good burger,\u201d Lozano said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to make a really nice spot for locals to hang out, to be with each other and enjoy really delicious baked goods.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A San Francisco restaurant is facing some backlash after the owners used AI to create photos of their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404923,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-404922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404922\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
