A viral r/Baking post: a baker with 16 years in the business, tired of customers bringing AI-generated cake images as requirements (some bringing entire printed books), posted a new policy — "Our new AI cake policy will upset some customers. It might even cost us the business we spent 16 years building."
The thread sparked wide discussion about AI images inflating customer expectations and the gap between renders and real craftsmanship.
