Ghost Kitchens Are Advertising AI-Generated Food on DoorDash and Grubhub

Dozens of ghost kitchens, which sell food only for delivery through apps like DoorDash and Grubhub, are promoting their dishes with AI-generated images that do not match the food they sell. Some images show physically impossible items, which the text attributes to faulty AI, and unlike typical food staging, the pictures show food that does not exist. The issue came to light after a reader tipped off the writer about strange-looking pasta from a DoorDash business called Pasta Lovers, following an earlier story on AI-generated food images on Instacart recipes.
