Cooperative theories of morality straightforwardly explain what you ought to do, and accurately describe people's moral intuitions. Altruistic theories, like utilitarianism, make incoherent and implausible demands, and then have to fudge it with endless ad hoc 'constraints' etc pic.twitter.com/ukVvPoqLCY— Oliver Scott Curry (@Oliver_S_Curry) September 22, 2026

Restaurants, Please Stop Using AI-Generated Photos of Your Food

AI-generated food photos and menus are creeping into restaurants, but the uncanny images, mangled descriptions, and synthetic polish come at a cost: diners’ trust. When it comes to selling food, even an imperfect photo can be far more appetizing when it’s unmistakably real.

AI language model rivals expert ethicist in perceived moral expertise

People view AI as possessing expertise across various fields, but the perceived quality of AI-generated moral expertise remains uncertain. Recent work suggests that large language models (LLMs) perform well on tasks designed to assess moral alignment, reflecting moral judgments with relatively high accuracy. As LLMs are increasingly employed in decision-making roles, there is a growing expectation for them to offer not just aligned judgments but also demonstrate sound moral reasoning. Here, we advance work on the Moral Turing Test and find that Americans rate ethical advice from GPT-4o as slightly more moral, trustworthy, thoughtful, and correct than that of the popular New York Times advice column, The Ethicist. Participants perceived GPT models as surpassing both a representative sample of Americans and a renowned ethicist in delivering moral justifications and advice, suggesting that people may increasingly view LLM outputs as viable sources of moral expertise. This work suggests that people might see LLMs as valuable complements to human expertise in moral guidance and decision-making. It also underscores the importance of carefully programming ethical guidelines in LLMs, considering their potential to influence users’ moral reasoning.
