作者因朋友推荐前往一家菲律宾餐厅，却发现其菜单被AI重新设计，效果丑陋且令人不适。作者作为菲律宾裔美国人，对此感到失望，并指出许多小企业因成本考虑使用AI设计，但结果往往缺乏美感。

文章主要讲述了一位菲律宾裔美国人在一家菲律宾/夏威夷风味餐厅的用餐经历。作者和朋友原本对这家餐厅的菜单充满期待，但发现餐厅用AI重新设计了菜单图片，效果令人不适，显得诡异且缺乏真实感。尽管AI图片糟糕，但实际菜品味道不错，尤其是作者点的spamsilog，让他想起了母亲做的早餐。作者理解小商家经营不易，但认为即使使用普通字体也比这种AI生成的劣质图片好。文章表达了对AI在餐饮业滥用现象的失望，并呼吁商家重视设计质量。

根据评论内容，总结如下：

主要观点一：AI菜单/标识被视为“廉价”和“低质量”的标志（多数评论支持） - 评论1：AI signage is the new signifier of low-effort, low-skill output... Businesses will stand out by continuing to hire human effort. - 评论2：AI menus are quickly becoming the dog whistle for "cheap"... telling you what kind of quality and service you should expect.

主要观点二：AI生成的食物图片引发“恶心”和“不信任”感（多数评论支持） - 评论15：AI generates pictures of food that literally looks disgusting... triggers trypophobia. - 评论23：What makes me feel almost physical disgust is the food in AI generated posters... there’s something deeply uncannily unappetizing.

主要观点三：部分人认为AI设计是“低风险、低成本”的合理选择（少数评论支持） - 评论6：Most people simply wouldn’t be able to tell that the photos are AI generated... it’s a relatively low risk and low cost way to update your menu. - 评论28：I like the new menu better... Getting a decent idea of what the dish looks like is valuable.

主要观点四：AI设计导致“个性丧失”和“同质化”（部分评论支持） - 评论19：Entire areas of town are starting to look homogenous... erases aesthetic identity of cities and cultures. - 评论25：The loss of personality is real... I VASTLY preferred the crudely drawn version to the new AI generated one.

主要观点五：AI设计可能影响顾客对餐厅的信任和回头率（部分评论支持） - 评论10：Repeat disappointment kills a repeat audience... the danger is the neighborhood mom-and-pops will start using the same trick. - 评论22：My partner and I usually just give a one star review each on Google when we pass by a place like this.

主要观点六：呼吁类似日本严格食品广告法规的监管（少数评论支持） - 评论8：I think the Japanese laws requiring strict truth in food advertising would be a good transplant. - 评论21：I wish something akin to Japan's strict food packaging laws existed for restaurants.
