¿Es real ese pelo en la sopa? La IA llega a las reclamaciones en restaurantes

This summer, a Galician restaurant accused patrons of attempting to avoid paying their bill by using a video that allegedly showed insects on the tablecloth. The establishment suspected the images were manipulated using artificial intelligence and threatened to call the police. The diners ultimately paid their bill. The case gained traction after Jesús Soriano, creator of the account Soy Camarero, shared the incident on social media after receiving it directly from the establishment.

Soriano explained that he was contacted via Instagram and had a private conversation with the owners, noting that it was the first time he had seen anything similar. He does not believe this marks the end of such cases, stating, “As the technology advances, I'm sure the cases will start rolling in.” This Spanish picaresque tradition, evolving since the 16th century, has moved from Lazarillo de Tormes to the modern-day user with AI, but the underlying motivation remains largely unchanged.
