Just Eat's AI misinterprets menu items, showing bacon in cola

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Just Eat Takeaway is pausing its AI-generated menu image feature after several bizarre errors, including depicting a soda bread breakfast as bacon and eggs in cola. The AI tool misinterpreted common words with specific local meanings, such as 'soda bread' and 'scampi,' defaulting to their more general definitions. The company has apologized for the mistakes, removed the generated images, and stated that while AI-generated images are manually checked, the system's reliance on common meanings over specific menu context led to the issues.

    Just Eat’s AI read ‘soda’ as a drink. A soda bread breakfast showed up as bacon and eggs floating in cola. The AI gave the word its common meaning. The meaning that mattered lived with the cafe that wrote the menu, and every team has words like that. https:// aifueledculture.word…
