Instacart confirmed on Sunday it was using AI-generated imagery and recipes.
The AI images featured physically impossible compositions, unnatural shadows, and strangely blended textures.
Other recipes discovered by Reddit users, meanwhile, had the AI-generated images replaced with what appears to be stock photography.
Some AI-generated imagery was still live on Instacart's site as of Wednesday.
A startup is using text-to-photo technology to create AI imagery based just on menu descriptions to help restaurants build out online menus without paying for photography.
