Here's what we do. We all stop buying.
Stop buying what?
Yes.
Stop.
Line goes down until they stop.
If boycotts actually worked, we wouldn't have these sorts of problems in the first place.
"Just don't buy it" is a cancerous thought-terminating cliche, not a solution!

People who naievely pipe AI output directly to end users are ignoring the fundamental principle that writers need editors. AI isn't at fault any more than a junior copywriter would be at fault for screwing up. In both cases their job is to produce rough copy which an editor is supposed to make a pass over. The problem lies with the management decision to remove the human editor from the process.
Mediocre managers have always looked for magic bullets to fix problems they aren't smart enough to handle. They'll bring in consultants who give a seminar and leave a set of binders behind, and say do everything this way now, believing the sales pitch that said it would revolutionize the whole department. These same talentless managers are embracing AI with the same false hopes and implementing it just as clumsily.

Why save 2 clicks when you could save 3?
The menu item in question reads as follows:
Chicken Pops
Small, itchy, blister-like bumps caused by the varicella-zoster virus; common in childhood.

tldr:
"Small, itchy, blister-like bumps caused by the varicella-zoster virus," the dish description from Sikar's Royal Roll Express restaurant reads. "Common in childhood."
A misreading of the dish name in question — "Chicken Pops" — could well explain why an AI may have spat out a description for what sounds an awful lot like chicken pox, a common childhood virus that causes the exact kind of nasty "blister-like bumps" detailed on the menu.
Dunno, in my childhood machine-translated things possessed some charm. Or when translations were by clueless people. Druids in Star Wars instead of droids, for example.

Replaced with Ai
Quality Assurance would happen after the AI.

These product descriptions are likely being generated by the delivery companies themselves without the knowledge or consent of the restaurant owner.
You think the restaurant owners don't have a say in which products they sell?

A third party delivery service doesn't even need to contract with with the restaurant to sell their food. They can create their own website, food descriptions, and price markups, and the restaurant might not even know they're doing it.

Seems more like someone got confused and dumped info for chicken pox instead of “chicken pops”
