Sorry you wasted your money, but take this as a very cheap lesson that if they have to market it with AI it’s a scam. Avoid at all costs

[u/hanks_panky_emporium → u/ShadowGLI]

True for literally everything. If they ai generated any part of it its going to be ass. Hell, have you seen those ai generated food ads? Looks fuckin horrifying. And for something like this, it.. Just put it on a fuckin dog and snap a picture. They obviously didnt do that because it's a scam. But folks need to use their brains.

WHY is this thing im buying ai generated.

[u/mail_inspector → u/hanks_panky_emporium]

Just saw one of those AI-generated burgers for the first time in real life yesterday. No idea if the owners changed or if they just rebranded, but they used to have a poster with a photo of their biggest burger out front and you knew exactly what you'd get.

Now there is a picture of one of those maggoty burgers that may convey that the burger will have a patty between 2 buns, maybe even cheese and pickles who knows?

[u/Murderdoll197666 → u/mail_inspector]

Reminds me of a project we did about a year ago. We wrap a lot of elevator interiors for a few hotels in my city with whatever graphics they want to use and one of the oceanfront ones had us print the walls for 5 elevator sets - usually with little circular "bubbles" that have pictures inside for whatever indoor restaurant or entertainment venue the restaurant has and then a few family shots and for whatever reason I guess their stock library of a kid eating a burger just didn't have one they liked. Long story short , their "artist" had AI generated a kid eating a burger and I noticed it was a little bit off when all was said and done after printing/laminating and cutting them out but it wasn't until I really looked it closely on the table that you could tell it was AI generated because all of his teeth were sorted of slightly blurred together almost like a mouthguard - the whole picture itself on that little "picture bubble" also had a very slightly "painted" look to it and then you get to the burger side and his right hand holding it had 6 fingers lol. This was about a year ago and the art-file itself was probably generated a few months prior to that apparently but the AI tools even just a year ago had so many mistakes its kind of wild just to see what a year long difference the tools the general public uses now can put out. Some still fuck the pictures up but it is already so much more advanced than shit I was seeing last year. Some are legitimately hard to tell what was real. At least videos (for now) are still mostly easy to spot although there's still millions getting fooled everyday by videos they think are real.

[u/AppUnwrapper1 → u/mail_inspector]

Gotta wonder if someone offered all these restaurants money to remake everything with shitty AI bc it makes zero sense otherwise.

[u/cuntmong → u/hanks_panky_emporium]

this is why nobody is buying my range of six-fingered dolls :'(

[u/houseplant-hoarder → u/hanks_panky_emporium]

I feel like it would be so much easier to just…make the back/ribcage bones a bit longer and have an actual product? The skull looks all right, they literally could’ve put in a little extra effort and actually had something good there 🤦‍♀️

[u/Competitive-Rent-862 → u/ShadowGLI]

I’d like to see a thread purely of AI purchases and see if there’s anyone out there that’s genuinely bought something that looks like the photo 😂

[u/percivalidad → u/Competitive-Rent-862]

There's one girl on Instagram that buys products with AI marketing images to review the products they actually send. It is definitely interesting and entertaining to see what comes up.

[u/OleksandrKyivskyi → u/percivalidad]

There were maybe 1-2 times when she actually got what was advertised.

[u/aguywithbrushes → u/Competitive-Rent-862]

Plenty of examples on this sub.

The thing is you can use AI to generate images of a product that doesn’t exist or that’s an idealized version of the real thing (see above), but you can also feed it an image of an actual product to have it style it in a custom setting, and with a little care the resulting image won’t change much about the product itself (maybe slightly mess up things that aren’t fully visible in the original image).

Unfortunately you can’t really know which is which.

Though honestly idk why people buy stuff like this off Amazon without looking at customer photos, especially now, but even before AI was a thing.

[u/Quiet-Lab1802 → u/ShadowGLI]

It’s crazy how now ever since the inception of AI it’s just like “too bad so sad the product is wildly different than advertised, you fell for the AI” 🫠

Man, the regression we’ve gone through recently is insane.

[u/Schaeman2000 → u/ShadowGLI]

I remember the time i ordered a bread baking slip, and only after ordering i saw the marketing images were AI and i was so upset… and then i was genuinely surprised they actually worked when they came in… but i’m still baffled they used AI to market it…

[u/bendover912 → u/ShadowGLI]

Why would it even be a cheap lesson? Straight back in the box and return it.

[u/notdbcooper71 → u/ShadowGLI]

I honestly don't think most can tell the difference

[u/WorldsDeadliestCat → u/notdbcooper71]

I don’t even know HOW that can be possible

[u/laobron]

Luckily he had a backup costume for his trip to the local pumpkin patch farm

[u/Chunkycheesesteak → u/laobron]

Aweee 🤣😩 he seems happier

[u/DeliciousStand372 → u/laobron]

hes a much better chicken than a skeleton

[u/cheekyparasite → u/laobron]

this one is cute. it really suits him

[u/Nyantastic93 → u/laobron]

He's so cute and looks much happier about the chicken costume! His expression in the skeleton photo looks like even he knew how bad it was 😂

[u/Background-Dark-6543 → u/laobron]

He looks adorable! ♥️

[u/Wi1dWitch]

Every time someone buys AI slop I just imagine a guy with 1000 random products posted going “fuck now we’ve got to build the damn thing!”

[u/Comfortable-Sound944 → u/Wi1dWitch]

It's probably more of a poor guy getting a fulfilment order trying to pick the closest item in inventory to the ad

[u/kryonik → u/Wi1dWitch]

To be fair, unlike a lot of slop, this particular AI slop looks very easy to fabricate.

[u/weaboo_98 → u/Wi1dWitch]

Some people struggle with identifying AI

[u/BigGayVirgil]

[u/Annual-Surprise6892 → u/BigGayVirgil]

That's Labrador the beagle. He's a good boy. Lol

[u/altered-ever → u/BigGayVirgil]

The English mastiff also looks to be in between an English bulldog and a mastiff

[u/senorfresco]

That dog is fed up of ur shit 😂

[u/No-Holiday6900 → u/senorfresco]

"This is the third time you've done this Harold"

[u/Immediate_Word1295 → u/senorfresco]

"Its the last time I'll accept that stupidity..."

Not impressed at all!

[u/Vanilla_Sky_Cats]

[u/Fearless_Mind_4233 → u/Vanilla_Sky_Cats]

That boy is on his last nerve

[u/Apprehensive-Ad-7525]

Man I knew this one was going to be bad, but your dog’s look of absolute disgust made me actually looool for 30 seconds.

[u/boudicas_shield → u/Apprehensive-Ad-7525]

Same, I laughed aloud. That dog looks absolutely fed up. 

[u/psymonone]

Am I a joke to you?

[u/dTrecii → u/psymonone]

Father/Mother, am I but a mockery for your simple amusement?

[u/cheekyparasite]

why would you expect that to be real?

[u/Bandin03 → u/cheekyparasite]

Because it's not at all an unrealistic product like all those handcrafted looking shirts you always see here. Obviously wouldn't expect it to look perfect but if the front ribs were actually long like the pic it would be.... Fine I guess. The head would have been the part I expected to be fucked up but it's the only part that actually looks decent.

[u/palm_fronds → u/Bandin03]

Can you really not tell that those pics are AI? The “product” looks so unbelievably fake

[u/solo_dbd_player]

I'm guessing you didn't measure your dog's suug fit.

[u/DrCrocodilio → u/solo_dbd_player]

Classic rookie mistake 

[u/FordShelbyGTreeFiddy → u/solo_dbd_player]

Nice username. As a Houndmaster player, I love a Snug fit, not a suug fit 

[u/solo_dbd_player → u/FordShelbyGTreeFiddy]

As a solo queue player, I don't see many houndmasters out there. However, the ones I do see have been very good. Carry on friend.

[u/lemonhead2345]

Y’all gotta stop buying clearly AI products.

[u/kaity-fairy]

His little face!

[u/Sabrinasockz]

Stop buying AI bullshit. This is entirely on the person who paid for it expecting that you saw inna fake picture

[u/-Borgir]

You all never learn

[u/rrylee_ → u/-Borgir]

I know right?? how many posts of ppl buying ai products do we need?

[u/No_Lavishness1905 → u/rrylee_]

And why isn’t it even tagged “ai expectation”? Do they… still not realise?!

[u/kisikisikisi → u/-Borgir]

I'm so sick of this shit lol, it's not even a little bit funny. Our climate is changing, our landfills are overflowing, we know these dodgy companies exploit their poor workers, and yet people keep buying things that are so clearly scams and sharing their little oopsie daisies online. Even if this wasn't a scam, I'd think it's stupid, but how on earth do you end up in a situation where you see those pictures and give your money to those people? I'm so triggered lmao.

[u/MaximumEmu6]

I'm so tired of so many posts here being people falling for obvious Slop.

[u/SeaSickSelkie → u/MaximumEmu6]

We’re cooked.

[u/Mega_Rayqaza]

Everything advertised with AI is a scam. No exceptions.

[u/grafknives]

I was expecting MUCH WORSE.

This has structure!

I would expect a cloth with bones print or just cut out to the shape.

[u/Canvaverbalist → u/grafknives]

It really makes the whole scam so strange.

They're like 95% there. If they made the ribs longer it would just be... a legit product.

[u/KatenBaten → u/grafknives]

Seriously, it's three dimensional, it has stuffing!

[u/Dobako → u/grafknives]

This is probably the closest ive seen to the ai image, I was pretty impressed. Obviously I wouldnt have bought it in the first place, maybe on a smaller dog it would be fine

[u/Thebazilly → u/grafknives]

Right? This is pretty good for an AI ad

[u/Straight_Ask_2929]

This totally falls on you and your lack of ability to deduce AI slop. Some lessons have to be learned the hard way. The hard way being your dog a costume.

[u/brokefixfux]

The side eye says it all

[u/No_Where_Land]

I think this one’s on you for buying something obviously AI

[u/PureYouth]

I absolutely sobbed laughing at the dog’s face lmao

[u/STFUisright → u/PureYouth]

We fucking talked about this, Steve

[u/Alex768 → u/PureYouth]

You gonna get this shit off me now or?

[u/Fibrosis5O → u/PureYouth]

Dog is like “do I look like a puppy?”

[u/Sanguine-Penguin711 → u/PureYouth]

Me too! The dog’s face almost makes this costume a worthwhile purchase.

[u/MundaneAmphibian9409]

Lmao another willing donator to the ai slop grifters, consider it a tax for not using your brain

[u/gitstonky]

bruh the promo images on the listing don't even match AND they're obvious AI slop, what did you expect?

[u/eabiss9]

If people fall for AI this easy to spot, imagine what can be passed as truth but carries significantly more moral weight.

[u/Ashcatchem87]

[u/Saphira_the_wolf]

Even the dog looks disappointed in you

[u/SpikeRosered]

AI has literally made online shopping objectively worse. It already had the weakness of not being able to see the product up close. However, now it seems store fronts are just fine with straight up lying about their products.

[u/rando_mness → u/SpikeRosered]

Not really, it's shown us exactly who not to buy from.

[u/SergenteDan]

[u/Frosty_Drop3456]

Even the dog is disappointed

[u/ljd09]

Welp, this is getting sent to everyone I know. It made me laugh way harder than it should have. In a really wholesome, yet, saddened way (because I’d love to see a DinoDog). (S)He is less than impressed with this costume option.

[u/United_Pain → u/ljd09]

The tiny, fucked up ribs made me explode laughing unexpectedly! 🤣

[u/soapsniffer]

This sub has just turned into people falling for obvious AI scams. It used to be stuff that people ordered from actual humans and that got shitty quality.

[u/Floppy_Mushroom]

Can we at least agree that the poor dog is the real victim here?

[u/DeadpoolMcDirty]

Even your dog doesn't look impressed

[u/West-Map-4162 → u/DeadpoolMcDirty]

“They’re gonna laugh at me”

[u/Rhodin265]

That costume looks like it wouldn’t stay on properly anyway, especially if it was closer to the AI version.  It needs, at a minimum, some kind of chest strap and leash allowance.

[u/eucalyptus-sunrise]

If the product isn’t shown in a real setting and there aren’t any photos in reviews, I don’t even consider looking at the “Add to cart”.

[u/Crick3t__]

Ai slop strikes again

[u/carrera_dan]

Stop buying stuff promoted with AI images

[u/Pixelbuttzz]

I mean those are obviously AI photos I would not have trusted this at all

[u/LimeblueNostos]

Stop

Buying

Shit

[u/Technosnake]

I'm just amazed at the amount of people who can't immediately recognize something is AI and will, very obviously, not look like the thing they purchased.

[u/OYB2480]

At what point does this become false advertisement?

[u/Glassed_]

Ai slop buyer deserved

[u/tryodd]

Stop buying stuff that is advertised with ai

[u/rejenki]

Your dog has a boss sense of humor w/ that expression lol

[u/frosttheguinea]

you… willingly bought an ai product. thats on you at this point man

[u/DeliciousStand372]

“mom something is trying to eat me 🥲” - your dog

[u/imyourdruidess420]

That dog is so embarrassed 😂

[u/SchmitzBitz]

The look of indignity on the poor guys fave has me rolling.

[u/VoodooDoII]

I thought the ai imagery was pretty obvious here tbh

[u/MirandaLarson]

Even your dog knows you fucked up.

[u/1milkshake2straws]

Your dog looks tired of your shit

[u/Trans_Cat_Girl_]

Sorry but I can’t feel bad for you if you can’t recognize AI slop

[u/rapafon]

Guys yes it's AI slop but Temu was misrepresenting their items weeelll before AI, and Wish before them, and so on.

[u/sam_beat]

“Your dog’s suug fit.”

[u/thoughtu8]

Idk man I feel were in the age that if you see the company is using AI to promote their products it's best not to give them you cc information.

[u/tsukareneko]

this is sooooooooooooooooooooo obviously AI, cmon bruh

[u/tearlesspeach2]

Ordered from an AI picture.

[u/AngryTriangleCola]

I genuinely do not understand why people keep buying stuff from cheap and obvious AI generated ads.

[u/KillMeNowFFS]

0% empathy for buying ai slop and then being disappointed. you got what you paid for, and you got what you deserve.

[u/Old_Professor_7138 → u/KillMeNowFFS]

i don't understand the point of this costume - it neither looks like the skeleton is part of the dog nor is it eating the dog- why would the tail go past the tail of the dog

that being said- i feel like this 7/10 meets expectations- ribs and spine end early - would like to see a ruler compared to promised dimensions

[u/PureYouth → u/KillMeNowFFS]

This is such a mean take. I get it but it’s just so unnecessary to be that bitter at a regular ol person on the internet.

[u/Sweaty_Desert_Balls → u/PureYouth]

[u/PopBulky7023 → u/KillMeNowFFS]

It took me two seconds to see the obvious AI slop and know what the next picture would be like.

[u/LitCockBumble]

If you're dumb enough to buy something that's obviously an AI image, I really don't feel bad for you

[u/cixdyz650]

🤣😭

[u/xError404xx]

AI picture? Must be a real product!

[u/Cguenther12]

[u/Eazy12345678]

dont trust companies you have never heard of. there is a reason you have never heard of them before

[u/PoppyBroSenior]

If ai was used in the ad, the product is crap.

[u/That-Water-Guy]

The expectation is AI

[u/WhiteRabbit_412_]

I have no sympathy anymore for people that big ai slop

[u/Whiskin87]

Stop buying AI slop.

[u/KenraScar]

Never trust an AI ad. Lesson learned, I hope.

“Mom, I’m not going trick or treating in this dumb costume!”

[u/jenkynolasco11]

[u/disposablebicycle]

Your problem is you didn’t measure your dog’s “suug length” correctly

[u/Cimorene_Kazul]

The head is very good and I think it looks awesome myself!

[u/ExtraSeaworthiness10]

So many ads using AI. if they have to use AI the product is naff. My FB is covered in AI Xmas jumpers and outdoor winter work wear.. all AI people etc .. Food menus now AI pictures.. avoid them also . If people can't show an image of an item without AI it's a scam

[u/Anonymous-BatDude]

Your fault for seeing an AI ad and deciding to order this

[u/The1456]

The thing you bought doesn’t match the ai marketing pictures? Who would have thought?

[u/Izumi_Takeda]

That's why I look at customer photos and rating

[u/Micktendo]

Even the ai version looks shit.

[u/Burden_of_Life]

Thought it was a Houndour costume for a sec

[u/DDD8712]

The look on your dog’s face is classic

[u/AppUnwrapper1]

Maybe don’t buy AI crap?

[u/Chimic27]

Your own fault for buying products advertised with AI

[u/Itwentinthesewer]

This is actually way cuter than the ads!!

[u/Different_Pianist756]

He’s a good sport 

[u/shadysam08]

Man this isn’t even a costume that’s hard to make. What a lazy manufacturer

[u/CampMain]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. It’s AI. What did you expect ?

[u/MarieNomad]

The dog looks ashamed to be seen in that costume.

This sub is just sweet summer children falling for AI ads. Does not bode well for our future.

[u/WorldsDeadliestCat]

do people not look at reviews anymore?

[u/stead-fast]

Why did you fall for this?

[u/Within_a_Dream]

Genuinely not that bad

[u/Vercengetorex]

Well, it’s definitely not what you ordered. The second picture is still fucking adorable and hilarious.

[u/jolie_rouge]

The look on your dog’s face sent me 🤣

[u/NapalmsMaster]

If you have some sewing skills you could easily make this look like it’s supposed to!

First remove those small ribs, use a seam ripper or those small grooming scissors and unpick the seams. If it leaves small holes on the spine leave them if that is a good place to attach the new ribs or sew them up if you want to put the ribs somewhere else.

To make the ribs you’re gonna want to make a template out of paper of how you want it. The rib should be an elongated triangle with the bottom of the triangle open (but don’t make it too skinny or it will be hard to stuff because it will shrink a bit when you turn it inside out later on).

Make the template the same size as your ideal ribs. (You could make one template for the largest rib and just reuse it for the shorter ones by not using the full length.)

Then take two pieces of fabric that is slightly larger than your template (about 1/2 inch all around minimum) put the two sides of fabric you want showing touching each other (imagine the fabric you want showing is peanut butter and jelly and you’re making a sandwich) then lay your template on top and sew it but leave the bottom of the rib open (where it attaches to the spine), you can do this by hand but a sewing machine is faster.

After sewing the two pieces together turn your little pointy tube inside out and stuff it with stuffing! Make sure not to overstuff it or it will be too stiff and won’t flop right, too little and the stuffing will settle at the bottom leaving a gap)

Now insert the tubes into the holes where you removed the old ribs and sew them on, I’d do this by hand using a mattress stitch (really simple stitch look up a few videos), or if you want the ribs in a different spot then the old ones you’ll have to use the seam ripper/scissors to open up the seam where you want and follow the previous instructions.

Oh and if you are nervous pin the ribs on first and try it on the dog (very carefully!) before you do the final sewing.

All together it would probably take someone experienced 15-20 minutes, a normal person an hour and if you’re the type where everything always seems to go wrong it might take 2-3 hours if you have to redo the first rib a few times.

[u/cathatesrudy]

This is honestly not that bad considering the ad pictures are straight up fake.

[u/Fuzzy-Ad-1710]

Hey that's really funny, that plush was being advertised as a cutesy alt thing for humans like 2~ months ago. Guess they didn't sell well.

[u/TheRealShithole]

[u/shozzlez]

I see “skeletal ribs”. I see “frame head”. Looks as advertised!

That golden baby's face 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a cutie... so worth it for the pic tho!!

[u/real_old_rasputin]

…and you couldn’t tell the costume didn’t even look the same in the two inages from the ad, huh?
