The only reason I may order food from a place which has pictures in their menu is if it is some kind of exotic cuisine which is mostly unfamiliar and thus I'd need a picture to understand what I'm ordering.
Otherwise, AI or not, there's no way a restaurant with pictures in their menu is going to be decent.
