General purpose or image-focussed models have weak OCR so they tend to hallucinate / extrapolate, resulting in this gobbledygook.

Rather than “AI”, that looks quite a bit like something that’s been badly scanned, run through a basic OCR to create text, which has then been laid out by someone who doesn’t write the language well enough to kniw it’s gibberish.
The line “1 tablespoon (om Jto paste” for instance, was almost certainly “1 tablespoon tomato paste”. You can see the similarity oin the character shapes between the gibberish and real text.

Agreed, this is classic for that. Even a perfectly scanned document into OCR almost always has errors. I have set it up for a lot of people and I always stress that you need to go in and review what got scanned because there has never been a time I have seen it get everything spelled correctly or in the right format as it was.
Same as AI. Anything you get from an LLM should be reviewed. Too many people just blindly trust whatever gets spit out without ever reviewing.

That could certainly be the case, but it seems like a lot of effort to me to produce something like that.
Either way: Apparently, the people at the kebab shop didn’t notice what was written on it when they placed the order. They may have saved a little money on quality, but it doesn’t strike me as particularly flattering, especially since they actually pride themselves on homemade food, which tastes great.

Do the people at the kebab shop read English? Just because they can speak it doesn’t mean they’re literate.

I’m sure they can read. The store is in Germany and the text is in English, but I’m sure they realized that this is complete nonsense. I think they just ordered some cheap wrap material from somewhere and didn’t pay much attention to what was written on it.
They probably just don’t want to throw it away - which is fine. I just found it somewhat amusing and maybe a little infuriating, which is why I posted it here.
