This was found to probably be due to the app they were using replacing descriptions with ai, not the restaurant itself.

AI can’t read apparently… That’s Chicken Pox
Itchy. Tasty.
Probably a translation error.
Menu translation errors have been around forever and they have always been hilarious.
Menu translations are hilarious, but this does sound like an LLM mistook “chicken pops” for an eggcorn of “chicken pox” and described it accordingly, though it may not necessarily be the restaurant that used the LLM. It could also be an auto-generated summary from a search engine, for example.
This doesn’t sound like a translation error, that’s an AI description if I’ve ever seen one
It’s not restaurants that are doing it, it’s door dash. I think…
What currency is that? Is it possible that this error is related to translation? Perhaps somebody who didn’t speak English used a translator/LLM/both and couldn’t check the response?
Lakh rupee, so likely India, although some other countries use the same symbol
Or maybe give the AI enough context to do a good job and check the result before posting. AI can work fine, it’s the users who are stupid.
In that case just write the damn description yourself, it’ll take about as long.
I’m saying they could tell generalities to the AI, like “this is a dish we serve at a restaurant”, or give the description in an other language if it’s available. Not to give a full english description of the item. The only reason I can see for such an output would be a mistranslation coming from the title alone with no context whatsoever.
Insisting on using a system that is well documented to make shit up out of nowhere just means you’re both lazy and a poor decision maker.
Especially when there’s no inherent gain from its use like corporate executives solely trying to reduce their biggest expense (payroll) without any other consideration.
Doubt the person knew english to put this up, assuming for whatever reason that this is real!
So sticking to freeware either a wonky google translate or ai! Well, google translate would have been less coherent, maybe to the point of non-understandability and would have been posted here regardless… But yea, would have been the better choice
nah
Why not present that context to users and let us draw our own conclusions?
It’s probably caused by a mistranslation to begin with. The person “writing” this might not have the language skills to translate by themselves. Or as someone commented, that might have been done automatically by doordash.
