The recipe for "fresh baked bread" that the wrapper claims to be baked "every day - Homemade Style". Apparently, an incredibly clever AI model has come up with something truly special and delicious here - but I still really hope the kebab shop doesn’t start baking its flatbread that way - even if "it will bring more chewi":

"I clove garlic, crushed
I quantity tunc btini mixture, Kcupf (75g) whole -egg miyoBiuiK
1 tablespoon (om Jto paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire uuce
2 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs
sea salt and cracked black pepper
8 rashers bacon, rind removed
12 discs white bread, touted
bunec for spreading
2 vine-ripened tomato's, sliced
50g baby lettuce leaves.
4 tablespoons store-bought fruit chutney"

Rather than "AI", that looks quite a bit like something that's been badly scanned, run through a basic OCR to create text, which has then been laid out by someone who doesn't write the language well enough to kniw it's gibberish.

The line "1 tablespoon (om Jto paste" for instance, was almost certainly "1 tablespoon tomato paste". You can see the similarity oin the character shapes between the gibberish and real text.

ETA: It's still mildly infuriating that soneone would waste the paper printing this nonsense though.

[–] DandomRude@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That could certainly be the case, but it seems like a lot of effort to me to produce something like that.

Either way: Apparently, the people at the kebab shop didn’t notice what was written on it when they placed the order. They may have saved a little money on quality, but it doesn’t strike me as particularly flattering, especially since they actually pride themselves on freshly prepared food, which tastes great.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

The other poster has the image that was likely plagiarised by the unscrupulous vendors manning the slop machine.

General purpose or image-focussed models have weak OCR so they tend to hallucinate / extrapolate, resulting in this gobbledygook.

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 2 months ago

Agreed, this is classic for that. Even a perfectly scanned document into OCR almost always has errors. I have set it up for a lot of people and I always stress that you need to go in and review what got scanned because there has never been a time I have seen it get everything spelled correctly or in the right format as it was.

Same as AI. Anything you get from an LLM should be reviewed. Too many people just blindly trust whatever gets spit out without ever reviewing.

[–] Naich@piefed.world 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So presumably a single cupf is the equivalent of 0.075g of whole-egg miyoBiuiK.

[–] DandomRude@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago

That could very well be the case. I hope that I’ll never find out, though...

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

It's actually REALLY light, that's a kilo cup.

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I don't think its AI, I think its cheaply reproduced and done over and over again.

If it was AI, I don't think I would care, for this use case it doesn't matter.

Here is one of the original, they are available everywhere:

I agree with the other poster, seems like someone took the original, probably changed the language, eventually changed it back and did OCR. Or some nonsense like that. You can find them online in all sorts of various states of degredation.

[–] DandomRude@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, that could be the case. My guess was that templates like this were collected by image-generation models, which then turn them into complete nonsense on demand. But OCR could also be a good explanation, of course.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s not the same. Likely this is the very image that was fed into the AI, and the printed result sold online.

AI and OCR have converged, though in most general purpose models it’s not very good.

This pattern is now a very common copyright avoidance tactic used to produce low quality goods.

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s not the same. Likely this is the very image that was fed into the AI, and the printed result sold online.

Given that these sell online, all over the place already, what would be the point? I doubt there is copyright, so it seems strange.

Then again what would be the point of OCR either. Back in the day we had generational degradation from copying over and over again, but this does look different.

Either way: meh. AI or not. Its throw away clipart.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Fair enough, in which case, it could be unintentional, the result of using a generative model to “upscale” it for printing, rather than a deterministic upscaler

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How the fuck did it spell Worcestershire correct but not the word sauce immediately after it?

Even dumbass autocorrect can do that. Spicy autocorrect can't?

[–] DandomRude@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago

It's probably because of the "bunec for spreading."

[–] FoxFireX@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 months ago

Honestly, this almost reads more as bad OCR rather than AI to me.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

8 rashers bacon, rind removed

Aw, man. I love the bacon rind.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Nice! Finally a recipe for avocado

[–] moody@lemmings.world 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Where does one buy discs of bread for making bread?

[–] DandomRude@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Phew, good question - maybe in Ankh-Morpork?

Here's a map:

[–] altasshet@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The best outside of Klatch!

[–] altasshet@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Any middle eastern store, and most super markets, at last around me. Look for Pita.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

At a Hand Made Homemade Style Authentic Bakery.

[–] GottaHaveFaith@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago
