Just Eat在因其部分餐厅食品的AI生成图片出现一系列错误而遭到网上嘲讽后，已道歉。
Eat has apologised after it was ridiculed online over a series of mistakes with AI-generated pictures for some of its restaurants' food items.
这家在线外卖平台一直在测试这项技术，用于展示尚未配图的食品——但结果并非全部如计划。
The online food delivery platform had been testing out the tech to showcase food which didn't have images yet - but not all turned out as planned.
相反，AI发明了几种古怪的组合，从培根鸡蛋漂浮在一杯可乐中——这是“汽水”与“苏打面包”的混淆——到薯条从松饼里冒出来。
Instead the AI invented several bizarre concoctions, from bacon and eggs floating in a glass of cola - a confusion between "soda" and "soda bread" - to chips poking out of muffins.
一位Just Eat发言人表示，该公司正“在移除错误图片的过程中”，并在AI进一步开发之前停止制作更多图片。
A Just Eat spokesperson said the firm was "in the process of removing" the incorrect images, and would stop making more until the AI was further developed.
“我们与成千上万家小餐厅合作处理其食品图像，包括资助当地专业摄影师，”该发言人对BBC表示。
"We work with tens of thousands of small restaurants on their food imagery, including funding professional local photographers," the spokesperson told the BBC.
“我们一直在试用AI增强图像，与任何新技术一样，第一次并不总是完全正确。”这一事件凸显了公司在使用AI加速或简化工作流程时仍可能面临的困难，尤其是当它用于在特定语境下解释词语时。
"We've been trialling AI-enhanced images, and as with any new technology, it isn't always quite right the first time." The incident highlights the difficulties companies can still face when using AI to speed up or simplify work processes, especially when it is used to interpret words in a specific context.
过去几天，Just Eat UK子版块的成员涌入该网站，发布外卖食品的最新无意间滑稽的演绎版本。
Members of the Just Eat UK subreddit have flocked to the site over the past few days to post the latest unintentionally hilarious spins on takeaway food items.
外卖应用上使用AI生成的任何图片都会附带标注，BBC发现许多更不寻常的版本仍然挂在菜单上。
Any picture generated using AI on the delivery app appears with a label indicating so, and the BBC has spotted many of the more unusual takes still up on menus.
与此同时，贝尔法斯特一家咖啡馆的培根鸡蛋苏打面包菜品被表现为一杯汽水，里面漂浮着煎蛋和培根。
A Belfast cafe, meanwhile, had its bacon and egg soda bread dish represented as a glass of fizzy drink with a cooked egg and bacon floating in it.
菜单项目上的拼写错误有时也增加了混乱，Instagram账号@uknewestfoods发布了一张飞机形状的蒜香面包图片——大概是因为“plain”一词拼写错误。
Spelling mistakes on menu items have sometimes added to the confusion, with the Instagram account @uknewestfoods posting a picture of garlic bread in the shape of a plane - presumably because of a misspelling of the word "plain".
与此同时，“奶酪卷”——面包和奶酪——却变成了奶酪块卷成寿司卷。
Meanwhile, a "cheese roll" - bread and cheese - instead became slabs of cheese rolled into a sushi roll.
虽然一些人在社交媒体上表示这些图片“非常有趣”，但另一些人则对人工智能生成的菜品不太感兴趣，他们说：“嗯，这些图片反而帮了我的减肥计划……”与此同时，一位Instagram用户质疑：即使这些人工智能生成的图片与餐厅实际提供的菜品更相似，顾客为什么还想要看到这些图片呢？
While some on social media said they found the images "hilarious", another was less interested in the AI-generated dishes, saying: "Well, that lot just helped my diet". Meanwhile, one person on Instagram questioned why customers would ever want to see AI images of a restaurant's food even if they were closer to the real thing.
“我想看到菜品的实际样子，因为这能帮助我决定该从哪家餐厅点餐，或者该点什么菜，”这位用户说道。
"I want to see what the dish actually looks like as it helps me decide who to order from or what to order," they said.
“如果你以为自己点到的餐品会和这些‘完美’的人工智能生成图片一样，那么这些图片只会让你感到失望罢了。”
"These 'perfect' AI versions just lead to disappointment if that's what you think your meal will look like."
