Using AI to sell a product is false advertising.

Fake food on commercials and menus are another example, it's everywhere in the USA because our laws are written by McDonald's ^tm^ and other political "donors".

    The problem is that they’ve always been false advertising. They’re never punished for it. They’ve been showing massive, fresh burgers for decades in ads, and the real product looks nothing like that. It long predates the AI slop era we find ourselves in.

    I think there are laws restricting fake food in ads, at least on TV. Like you can't use glue to represent mayo or stuff like that

    Not if you're selling whole burgers, but the "set dressings" are allowed to be fake.

    You can use fake pancakes to advertise a syrup, and fake syrup to advertise pancakes. McD's can't use fake mayo on pictures of burgers, but you can use it in the "serving suggestion" picture if you're selling frozen burger patties.

    Also, even when it is real there can be trickery involved, like using the correct portion size but moving all the ingredients to one side of the sandwich to make it look like there's more than there is.
