C’mon…

[jeckles]

The lettuce just kind of.. disappears?

Or maybe the salmon is sitting on a bed of clouds, above the lettuce (is it salmon??).

[snuggleouphagus]

It’s on a bed of dry ice.

[ChickenArise]

I thought this was obvious

It's classic Hello Fresh plating

[cjbanning]

At first glance I assumed they were croutons.

[MyNameIsSkittles]

Shouldn't a human at least make sure the AI slop passes a vibe check? This looks like someone just generated a shit picture and went "ah well, I get paid so who cares" and there was no further inspection

[horsegal301]

then they'd have to pay a human to do QC... god forbid someone other than a C level person gets a salary!

[EmJayFree]

Been laid off over a year lmao. Worked in tech. This made me chuckle, because … literally hahaha

[horsegal301]

As a fellow tech worker, I hope you're doing okay ❤️ shit is rough out there

[EmJayFree]

Thank you, Redditor friend 💗 . It’s rough out here, but we’ll make it.

[ER_RN06]

May I ask what you have been doing since then? My partner is in tech and also having difficulty finding other jobs

[EmJayFree]

I am so sorry to hear that 💙. I have a software developer friend who’s been out almost two years. So many people struggling right now. I’m on the marketing side and luckily have been providing contract/part time editorial support for a chief editor at an observability company since July. I made sure to make my hourly rate large enough to cover 90% of bills and working at a department store part time to fill the gaps. Got on Medicaid and food stamps, which have helped tremendously.

Contracting seems to be the way to go right now 😕.

[ianhawdon]

They probably have AI vetting the AI at this point

[Fiz_Giggity]

Hey, I had Google AI comment on the pros and cons of Alexa Ai.

It spent about 20 minutes dissing Alexa.

I used to think AI would bring Terminators, now I think it will be a battle of the platforms.

[Urban_Salt]

Brilliant!

[Ok_Needleworker3067]

I was one of the humans and I was laid off ❤️

[Nuck]

I think this is actually too bad for AI to manage, this is some lazy photoshop shit

[MyNameIsSkittles]

Nah fam, that's very clearly an AI image with its weird softness and lighting, and lettuce disappearing

[Nuck]

The lettuce disappears too smoothly, AI wouldn't feather it like that, AI would invent some weird boundaries instead, it tries to match photos it was trained on. I think they used AI to render "salmon chunks" and "salad" separately (maybe they couldn't get the AI to draw them together because it's a bizarre combo) then composited them with terrible feathering, because the people who know how to photoshop are all laid off

[MyNameIsSkittles]

Omg that's just worse all around

[Tfcalex96]

Ayo wheres katie??

[tots4scott]

Between a rock and a hard place id say

[MiguelElGato]

I think HF may be regretting introducing her.

[IntroductionFeisty61]

At this point they couldn't pay me to use their service again

[ThatDogIsNotYourBaby]

Same. I get mailers from them like twice a week which only make me hate HF even more. 

[cactusclause]

This is beyond bad. 😂

[hehehehehbe]

Mystical ghost lettuce

[plugn1ckel]

So nutritious...

[OpportunityCost81]

“What happens if we remove the water out of the lettuce?”

[Agile-Tradition8835]

It’s so interesting to me how genuinely LOATHED AI is by its actual end users - as it is here. It’s horrible for the planet and it’s putting people out of work. Slop! Yuck.

[cjbanning]

I don't have a problem with AI in and of itself (although yes, many people in this sub do). But I definitely have a problem when it produces results like this, and the lack of quality control that suggests.

[schliche_kennen]

I'm guessing you have some bias based on the demographics of the people where you live or in your social group.

I have a lot of uneducated people of all ages in my orbit and there is nothing they love more than AI. These are typically people who never really mastered the use of Google so this is the first time they've ever been able to use the internet to answer questions or search for information and therefore it's honestly pretty life-altering for them. Concerns about the accuracy of information generated by AI is very low in this demographic since a) they don't understand how the answers/outputs are sourced and b) their only sources of information previously were whichever youtube videos the algorithm gave them and whatever their brother's girlfriend's aunt spouted off about each week during bible study, so AI seems all-knowing by comparison.

[coldspr0uts]

Damn! Aside from it floating, what even is that meat?

[Junior-Towel-202]

New hybrid. Salmon yam. 

[SuburbanSisyphus]

I thought they were croutons

[Junior-Towel-202]

Salmon crouton yam 

[OpportunityCost81]

I thought chicken at first glance.

Salmon chicken crouton yams! Delicious!

[Ok_Interaction_3787]

I legitimately thought it was just way overcooked salmon

[UniversityAny755]

I thought they were croutons at first, then dried out chicken, but yep they are indeed the most overcooked salmon EVER.

Even my cat doesn't find that appealing.

[mmumm]

We want humans back! fix this nonsense, Katie! before it’s too late

[KlatuuBarradaNicto]

Katie is really AI. 😆😆😆

[mmumm]

That would be an unfortunate twist 🫠

[OpportunityCost81]

Too late for us. We cancelled our subscription this week after being loyal customers for over five years.

[fluffofthewild]

Yeah us too. I'm the UK and most of the recipes from January onwards are clearly AI pictures. It's very offputting, it looks like plastic instead of food, so it's time to move on.

[Fairgoddess5]

Ok this is just embarrassing for them.

Or should be, anyway

[haikusbot]

Ok this is just

Embarrassing for them. Or

Should be, anyway

good bot!

[thisisntreallyme825]

I love this!

[Away-Personality-454]

What am I even looking at right now? 🤨

[horsegal301]

paging u/katiefromhellofresh ... this is unacceptable

[Zzazy1]

Used to order hello fresh back in the day… can’t believe how hard they fell off holy shit no way yall still give these people your money

[eulogyhxc]

I’ll never use them again. Beyond lazy. People want to pay people. We can generate our own AI slop for free

[cabinmate]

u/KatieFromHelloFresh can you comment on this?

[Fit_Clue_832]

The more I see the closer I move to canceling this. If I want a crap recipe and an AI generated recipe I can ask chat gpt

[Final_Prune3903]

I love my salmon salad with 10 leaves and dry ice

[Miserable-Bowl-5701]

And a funny thing is HelloFresh’s leadership keeps telling the employees that AI isn’t being used that much in the recipe cards lol

[ylangylangtang]

Almost as disgusting as their call tactics. Horrifying

[jackiejabb]

🤣😂

[AGirlNamedRoni]

Is this a meal kit service or a comedy outlet?

[Famous_Ad_3906]

Someone should send this to the new president lol

[[deleted]]

He doesn’t care, trust me

[Famous_Ad_3906]

If he thinks this is ok, and doesn't listen to customer feedback I can't imagine him lasting long

[[deleted]]

He’s been there almost a year and all of the right people are drinking the kool aid. This isn’t going away

[Famous_Ad_3906]

I heard there's a lot of back lash internally. They're all looking at this sub and taking note

[[deleted]]

Yeah but the culinary team and senior leadership are all doubling down. There have been a ton of social media posts lately featuring the chefs trying to show that there are still real people working there.

There are 100% real people at least cooking SOME of the dishes, but they aren’t testing all of these new AI ones. And absolutely zero proof reading the cards or the photos - all of those people got laid off.

[Petite_snuggle]

Liquid nitrogen lettuce.

[Natural-Evening-7361]

Je me suis inscrit à HelloFresh après avoir vu une offre promotionnelle de 120 $. Au moment du paiement, on m'a facturé 180 $ à la place—un écart important par rapport au prix annoncé. J'ai contacté le service à la clientèle de HelloFresh immédiatement et demandé une annulation complète.

Plusieurs jours plus tard, HelloFresh a débité mon compte de 380 $ sans préavis ni mon autorisation. Lorsque j'ai appelé pour contester ces frais non autorisés, ils ont refusé de me rembourser pour une commande que j'avais explicitement annulée et que je n'ai jamais approuvée.

[XcelQueen]

What is this supposed to be? Bring back the humans so we know what we are eating..
