Food delivery app Just Eat admitted using AI to generate fake product images after some of the more spectacular examples went viral, including garlic bread in the shape of a plane and "bacon and egg soda bread" presented as a drink with a fried egg in it.

Incredibly, the company said every AI-generated image had been manually checked by a person before appearing on the platform. Somehow, the tiger cub stew made the cut.

Among the other excessively literal text-to-image fails were a "jacket potato" presented as a puffer jacket with a repeating potato design, and a "lighter" breakfast option shown as a cigarette lighter.

"Popcorn chicken" comes with, you've guessed it, a side of fresh-popped popcorn.

Just Eats even made the effort to depict "Allergens" as a dish.

That actually looks like a delicious south Asian yeast-leavened flatbread! I would like peshawari allergens, please.…
