Gobs of e-commerce apparel companies are now using AI product photos too. My friend works for one such company. It’s outrageous as it’s a complete fabrication of the garment’s fit on a model, how a piece of furniture looks in a space, etc. But it allows retailers to skip a huge cost to sell products, and they can make the models as hot, or diverse as they want - without paying human models a dime, or hiring a photographer, or scouting a location.

Seriously, Google “ai ecommerce photos” - it’s disgusting how these services advertise themselves while cutely sidestepping how clearly fraudulent this is to the customer. Here’s an easy scapegoat from page 1 of the results https://flair.ai/

If I notice that product descriptions or photos are generated, I'm simply not buying the product. The same way that if I notice a product photo is photoshopped without AI, I'm not buying the product.
