An Instagram survey conducted by SOEL株式会社 found that “restaurant photos” are a key factor in choosing where to eat, while trust depends on “customer photos.” Even when AI-generated photos are difficult to identify, people’s trust tends to suffer when they realize a photo was AI-generated.

Facts:
- A survey of 400 men and women aged 20–59 nationwide
- Restaurant food photos and videos are the deciding factor in visiting for 46%
- 41% check “customer photos”
- Of those who learned a photo was AI-generated, 56% said, “I’ll decide after checking a photo of the real thing”
- More than 1,500 stores supported
