Zomato, India’s leading food delivery platform, has recently implemented a ban on AI-generated food images. The decision comes after concerns were raised about the authenticity of these images, which can sometimes lead to unrealistic expectations for customers.

The ban has sparked discussions across social media, with notable reactions including a “views vs. reality” response from Paytm’s founder. The debate centers around the ethics of using AI to create hyper-realistic food images that may not accurately represent the actual dishes delivered to customers.

Zomato’s move aims to enhance transparency and trust between the platform and its users, ensuring that the images displayed on its app and website are true to life. By banning AI-generated images, Zomato is setting a precedent in the food delivery industry, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in online representations.

This decision is expected to resonate with customers who value honesty in advertising and may influence other platforms to reconsider their use of AI in image creation.
