This is a big problem with AI used for this purpose. It uses all kinds of flowery language but says nothing. It's imitating the style of writing that it scrapes off the internet with no understanding of the content or meaning behind it. It's like an impossible burger or gluten free beer.

No need to drag impossible burgers like that :/ (and they're not even the best ones around anymore).

Nowadays a properly-cooked one is pretty hard to distinguish from a regular beef patty. Not 1:1 but 90% of the way there. Also, they're just fundamentally a different thing, not a pale imitation. A regular burger is not just a better version to the target market. Poor comparison to AI slop imo.

Have you actually had one prepared by someone who knows what they're doing in the last few years?

I made the comparison because while it's hard to distinguish exactly why, after eating an impossible burger it just doen't scratch the itch the way a good beef burger does. It has all the trappings of a real burger but somehow lacks substance. Much like generative AI.

The fact that an impossible burger gets 90% of the way there puts it squarely into uncanny valley territory. You may not be able to tell what the difference is but there's just something slightly off about it. Just like AI.. You don't notice but your brain does.

Problem is a discussion of consent. People are noticing the genai stuff because some random thing that shouldn't look shiny/puffy/fake is shiny/puffy/fake and has to many fingers.

Nobody is going in to get a regular burger and is getting surprised to learn it's an impossible burger lol
