, a random restaurant in Sikar — the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan — has an absolutely grotesque description listed for an otherwise normal appetizer on the delivery website Zomato. A misreading of the dish name in question — "Chicken Pops" — could well explain why an AI may have spat out a description for what sounds an awful lot likeThough that doesn't satisfactorily justify why that menu description still up on Zomato, some more level-headed Redditors offered theories between goofy ", the US-based delivery service DoorDash will often use AI to automatically add in dish details, and will sometimes do so even if the restaurant provided its own summaries.
"I have found that if local places don’t provide long-ish descriptions on their dishes , DoorDash automatically replaces the store-provided description with an AI-generated description," the user wrote. "It’s annoying because I have had a few times where I’ve ordered something and it doesn’t match the description."that it would be digitizing physical menus with the help of machine learning, and would do so "without any human input required."in 2024, no such ban has been brought down for AI-generated menu descriptions, which means that incorrectly-digitized dish summaries may well still be up on the site. We've reached out to Zomato to ask whether it uses AI to generate text for menu items like the aforementioned "Chicken Pops" description and to see whether the company will take any action for that glaring mistake or any other. Still, it's a pretty hilarious example of the many ways AI integration can go horribly wrong — and unless that appetizer from Royal Roll Express actually has chicken pox in it, it seems pretty innocuous too.Subscribe to our daily newsletter to keep in touch with the subjects shaping our future.
