L.A. Pizzeria Falls Victim to Apparent AI Photo Scam

A popular Los Angeles pizzeria is pushing back against what appears to be an artificial intelligence photo scam. Masa of Echo Park recently received a complaint from a customer who submitted a photo of what appeared to be a severely burned pizza and demanded a refund. Restaurant owner Rhonda Reynolds became suspicious and uploaded the image to an app designed to detect possible AI alterations. The app determined there was a 96 percent likelihood the photo had been manipulated. Reynolds also reviewed surveillance footage showing the pizza being prepared and said it did not appear burned. The restaurant initially issued a refund but has since reversed the decision. The incident highlights growing concerns among businesses about customers potentially using AI-generated or altered images to support fraudulent complaints and obtain refunds. Restaurant owners are increasingly facing new challenges as artificial intelligence makes manipulated photos more difficult to identify.

Gram Parsons celebrated in song by Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello on eve of his Rock Hall induction

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Joy and sorrow were in harmony at a musical tribute to Gram Parsons , the country-rocker who on Saturday will enter the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 53 years after his death at age 26. At the legendary Los Angeles-area Troubadour club, Parsons’ songs as a member of the Byrds , as a founder of the Flying Burrito Brothers and as a solo artist essential to rock's early 1970s turn toward country were performed Wednesday night by Elvis Costello , Sheryl Crow , the Black Crowes and, most important by far, Emmylou Harris . In a partnership that lasted less than two years, Parsons and Harris combined to create some of the most heartaching harmonies ever recorded. Then he died from an overdose in 1973. Before she sang a song many consider the pinnacle of that partnership, “Love Hurts,” with Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Harris said, “Gram taught me this one. We did it a lot of times.” Then she added, quietly as if to herself, “But not enough.” Harris, who had been an unknown folk singer when Parsons met her at a club in Washington, D.C., had thought she'd

Route 66 in California: Desert Towns & Mother Road Stops

Route 66 in California is the last stretch of the Mother Road, running about 345 miles from the Colorado River at Needles to the Pacific at Santa Monica, according to the National Park Service. It packs the whole Route 66 story into one state: empty desert highway, a neon-lit ghost town, a silver-mining boomtown, and a pier at the end. And 2026 is the road’s centennial year, a hundred years since U.S. Route 66 was designated on November 11, 1926.
