Online Retailers Using AI to Create Misleading Product Images, Expert Calls for Ban
- Online retailers are using AI to generate fake product images that look much better than the actual products
- A man named Assan Sayad ordered a jacket he saw advertised on Instagram, but when it arrived it looked nothing like the ad
- Sayad has a PhD researching AI image generation, so he could tell the Instagram ad used synthetic AI images
- AI tools like Google's Product Studio and Amazon's virtual backgrounds allow sellers to easily create appealing product images
- A professor says online platforms should ban sellers using AI deceitfully; digital watermarks could help combat fake AI images
