the river valley co restaurants are under new management (again), they've gone from posting photos the managers or cooks would take of the various features and specials to ai generated versions. They've deleted every comment mentioning the ai usage and disabled comments on some of the other posts too.

Agree to disagree on ethics of generative Ai usage, but I feel some type of way about being advertised food that doesn't exist. I think its disparaging to the cooks of this restaurant and to the other local restaurants in the city who are actively trying hard with the social media side of the business. The small local businesses that have the pride and integrity to make good food and Show It Off. Restaurants like Pip, pals, and next act who are always showcasing their new menu creations, im more inclined to want to go and support. thoughts??

i havent worked here in years but have many friends who still do. They recently went from posting photos of (whatever special they do) to really ugly ai generated images to use to sell to people. Ethics behind Ai usage aside, the gross false advertising of product and just sheer lack of pride and integrity to show off the work your kitchen is doing is disgusting.
