AI that “looks real” should be, in my opinion, clearly labeled as such. A little tag in the corner.
They’ve already gotten away with so much for so long, for example the advertisement burger is a prop that looks much different than an actual burger. All of this is deceitful.
Slop ads for slop pizza
The text on the side of the right pizza box.
Dommronniro’s
You’d think mangling their logo would be a no-no in their own ads.
I saw an Instagram reel that really put it straightforwardly: before genAI, designers used to catch tons of flack when the most minor things were not to executives’ in
sane exacting standards. But they’re perfectly fine with utter slop shoved on to prod.I would have transcribed it as “Demnn Fennìrós.” But yeah. Sloppity slop.
I hope this backfires so hard and completely destroys their brand image. We really need to strengthen advertising laws so that, by the time the models can reliably produce visuals that look much better than the real food, it’s illegal and has severe penalties. At least for now this pizza looks wonky as hell.
Which brand image?
Having real shitty fat leaking pizza?At least that was my (luckily) only experience with them…
I always found pizza hut way greasier, like hand covered in oil after I eat a slice.
I do get the pan pizza from Dominos so the crust is much crispier than their normal crust which I don’t think I’ve ever ordered so in that case it might be greasier.
Hmm…I think, I was at pizza hut once and was also disappointed
But I’m
leavingliving very near to Italy and we have many higher quality pizzerias around and mostly no food chains, but just family businessesMaybe I’m just spoiled ;-)
Edit: auto correct is shit …
I’m envious
Not sure who down voted you, but yeah, it’s nice to have some real Italian restaurants around
Sadly I’m missing a real Mexican restaurant, with which the US probably is probably the better place to be - besides actual Mexico of course ;-)
If you’re ever in Bologna, Piedra del Sol has legitimate Mexican food. Finding a place with freshly made tortillas and proper margaritas was a pleasant surprise.
Thank you very much! :-D
I have two customers in Italy, which I frequently visited the last years, but Bologna will be a bit far for a dinner during a business trip with 10-18h/day
But I’ll look it up and save it
Thanks again, really appreciate such recommendations :-)
Shit. Watch a documentary on fast food commercials. It’s already been crazy bullshit before AI ever showed up.
Theyve been shrinkflating the size of their pizza for decades. They dont care about “image” lol
shrinkflating
at least their honest! /s
How did this company get so successful anyway? Their pizza has always sucked shit. Little fuckin’ Ceasars has better pizza, and it’s also cheap AF by comparison.
It sucked shit 20 years ago but it’s fine since like 2010. Better than Little Caesar’s for sure. Worse, but cheaper, than the non-chain options around me. (Though nowadays if I pretty much only get pizza from Costco, Moto, MOD, or a local joint. It is nice to have a reliable middle ground for groups of people.)
Its objectively better than every other nationwide chain in my area. Papa johns tastes like cardboard, pizza hut doesnt exist, little ceasars IS cardboard, marcos tastes like rubber, and Dominos is… Manageable. My hands are covered in garlic and parmesan, but… Managable.
I agree with most everything, except Marcos is probably top of the list for me, want to be mortal enemies?
Yeah we can hate each other forever 🤗💕💕
I really feel like it depends on location. I actually really love the dominoes near me.
I don’t mind the taste if somebody else is buying, but the acid reflux is GUARANTEED.
They actually do have a way to get $2.99 1 topping or 8 count boneless wings, or $3.36 for a sub.
I like it but with the BBQ sauce instead. Little ceasers doesn’t exist in this country.
Kinda wonder now if Domino’s (and maybe Pizza Hut) is better outside of the US. Quality of local ingredients usually makes a difference.
In the US, if I want cheap pizza, I get LC’s. If I want good pizza, I make my own or go to a local pizza place, Round Table, or Mountain Mike’s. Or maybe Papa Murphy’s (take and bake place). Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, and Domino’s are to be avoided.
Seems they put a comparable level of care into the quality of their advertisements as they do the quality of their pizza.
Dominoes expired my points because I didnt order from them for a year. I had like a decade of points saved. So I’m done with them and honestly their pizza isnt good.
Buy local
Their pizza is hot circles of garbage.
You can get yours hot?
I just found they’ve been hiding extra charges on our bill, things that are supposed to increase by one dollar increase by two when you add, that kind of shit. I think I might cash out whatever points I have and start ordering elsewhere, AI ads are icing on the shit cake
That’s some weak sauce, dominos. That’s some weak sauce.
My Al detection is really bad: why do you say it’s AI?
the text on the side of the cardboard.
i would always zoom in small text first and see if something’s up.also the general vibe of it, even though you obviously cannot be too sure about it. but there are certain things ai likes to add, for example depth of field.
Also the general blurriness and the strange optics of the food itself
Also consider the logic of how those “breadsticks?” seem to be sliced - they’re cut in strips but also someone cut off 2/3 of a strip from 2 of them and one is sideways. Like a chaotic 4 year old was in charge of slicing.
Oh yes!
Also the woman looks like she’s spitting out the food, not eating it.
- there is yello-orange-y filter on the image
- the way she holds the mayonaise cup
- the people skin and clothes look wayy too smoth, just like if i repainted them on photoshop
- the guy running seem to have only 4 fingers on his right hand
- the food looks too fake IMO (cmon, even ads that use glue instead of cheese look more real…)
It would be easier to notice if we had the full vid instead of a screenshot
Edit: found full video on shitbook https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1728958371772134&vanity=dominospizzaindia
There are many things i could nitpick but that’s just a waste of time, you can see how they play Rock, Paper, Scissors yet the hand gestures make no sense at all
Not to mention the totally normal and human way the pizza and bread is cut / being removed.
The bench gets a back rest half way through!
Oh man, the video really is unwatchable… thanks for pointing all these things out!
AI ads always have this cosmic horror uncanny valley feel to them. I don’t know why a brand would do this to themselves.
Mayonnaise?
MAYONNAISE?
Who the FUCK WOULD EAT PIZZA WITH MAYONNAISE?
that’s obviously ranch
Whatever the girl is eating isn’t pizza though
I’m with you but that cup has only white in it…
It’s the most slop ranch you can get.
the way she holds the mayonaise cup
Who among us doesn’t like to dip our fingers into the condiments?
The number 23 disappears on her back the second time she runs.
The weird bread she’s eating is cut horizontally, but for some reason the first two pieces removed stop at the same vertical line like it was cut that way.
God I hate stuff like this.
Zoom in on the pizza and tell me the toppings
Whole cherry tomatoes and diced potatoes. A very normal pizza.
Great point!
Inch thick slices of… cucumber?
I thought it was green pepper
More likely, yah
Onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes, weird block chicken cubes, and 1 random suasage.
Have you ever seen a pizza with sausage slices that big‽ That was the dead giveaway to me. I mean, every pizza ad makes the cheese and toppings look perfect but those are little sausage towers.
Now I want a pizza like that!
I thought those weee mounds of dough lmao.
I thought they were scallops. I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on.
Actually, you’re right: They do kinda look like scallops.
Having said that, I think I’ve figured out what they actually are: Marshmallows 😂
Ashley Burch is owed some money.
As someone who never sees ads anymore, I would expect everything to be AI now. Is this a surprise? The 70’s had composition and light table trickery, then came air brushing, then came photoshop, and now AI. Seems like a logical progression.
Not seeing ads at all fixes that.
But I said this before: the Advertising company that goes out of its way to make crappy, hand made art that is obviously not AI or even CGI or Photoshop, and makes everything look like it was made with love (real love or fake doesn’t matter) for the sake of the product is going to make a fortune.
just kinda goes with the territory cause they’ve never used food for the shitty pizza.
You may not like it, but this is what 100x productivity looks like! 🤡
Who would have thought? Ad makers have always been so ethical in the past.
