The Curious Case Of The Restaurant That Isn't

Earlier this month I saw Vin (@vin on here) post a photo of a croissant shaped like a dinosaur, and suggested it looked AI-generated. I agreed - I explained why in my post about detecting AI fakes - and then didn't think much more of it. But the next day on Instagram, I saw exactly the same image by its original poster, liked hundreds of thousands of times. Normally I would've skated on right by it, but the one comment I saw on the post made me think twice, and led me down a fun if... mind-bending rabbit hole that I'm going to take you down now too, about AI fakes, social media, and brand management. Off we go.

They've got something with the Italian nachos for sure.

Listen, credit where credit's due.

Sounds like a marketing campaign for themselves. So that this brand agency can go "we can use AI to create this much buzz for your brand! Look at these, some actual results!" Since they weren't able to find a real brand willing to be the guinea pig.

This is my guess yeah!

@gkrnours3/14/2024, 7:20 PM

My guess is, they are growing the instagram account with a plan to sell it. At that point, maybe they'll nuke the past post and start posting about a real restaurant, maybe they'll turn into something totally unrelated. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same for the domain name of the site. Build some SEO then sell it.

It's possible, yeah! I know this was a thing on Twitter back in the day, I dont' know if it works on Instagram in the same way though, because views on a single post don't translate to follows in the same way. Also it seems like a lot of effort - there's usually no need for the sold account to relate to the same future topic. It might be though!
