People are getting sneaky with AI and restaurants are feeling it

A new food refund scam is popping up across the U.S. where people use AI to generate fake photos of undercooked or raw burgers, then send them to restaurants or delivery apps to score refunds.

The images look so real that customer service teams can’t tell they’re fake, and restaurants are struggling to push back.

It’s becoming a big headache for an industry that’s already dealing with rising costs and staffing pressure.
