The fictional restaurant Ethos is going viral on social media after sharing images of dishes generated by artificial intelligence. The Instagram page already has over 74,000 followers and has generated controversy among internet users.

The dishes range from pies, croissants, hamburgers, and an immense variety of unusual sweet and savory treats. One of its dishes, which has nearly 1 million likes, is a savory item shaped like a dinosaur.

“Ethos represents the core values and beliefs that define the character and culture of an individual, organization, or community,” states the page’s biography.

Internet users have debated the purpose of the page. Some claimed it is an easy way to make money by accumulating followers and then selling the account to a company.

“This is a dark social experiment to see how far millennial yuppies in Austin love bizarre-looking food, AI-generated junk, and lame online trends. The results will be plentiful,” one commenter said in a more sarcastic tone.

“That people can’t realize this is AI is scarier than the technology itself,” pointed out another profile on X, formerly Twitter.
