All products featured here are independently selected by our editors and writers. If you buy something through links on our site, Mashable may earn an affiliate commission. A new national study has revealed that women face a troubling double when it comes to carrying a key component of sexual health: condoms.

D uring a recent lunch break, Jill Sennett saw something so unappetizing she had to share it with her 26,000 X followers: Artificial intelligence-generated menu images from a Jamaican barbecue pop-up restaurant in which the meats looked like leather belts crawling with tiny beetles. The images were reshared by more than 500 people who similarly expressed their disgust. Eating is "such an essential human experience", said Sennett, a 37-year-old nurse in Denver. "I think it's a bad cultural thing that restaurants are converting to these horrific, uncanny food images that are unappetizing." Still, Sennett ordered chicken and macaroni and cheese.

This food truck is not alone in putting AI-generated images on its menu.

Restaurateurs say the rising cost of food, energy, wage and tax bills mean they've had to put up prices, with some top chefs campaigning for government help. Many eateries are offering incentives to get diners through the doors. Here are some ways to save money on meals out. Many restaurants offer points, freebies, discounts and birthday treats to keep customers coming back.

If the background seems oddly stretched, warped, or unusually indistinct, it could be a sign of AI manipulation. Share or comment on this article: AI vs reality: What'delicious' takeaways being sold on Uber Eats, Deliveroo, and Just Eat REALLY look like - as apps are overcome with fake food photos
