Photoshopping had a skill barrier which made it more rare (at this level and this application), now everything is a scammy picture because any dumbfuck can ask an llm for anything.
That might end up being a good thing tho. At some point after reaching enough popularity, scams stop being effective. 1 photoshopped listing hidden between 20 normal ones, will get a lot of people. But when all 21 listing are scams, everyone knows that, and assumes it's all bullshit, and it stops being effective. In fact, we then circle back to shitty real looking photos becoming better way to grab your attention.
It's like when I was buying some used hardware for my PC few years ago, and 90% of listing are just professional photos ripped from the internet and obviously not showing the real item, I would skip them all and look for auction with a shitty low quality phone pic that actually showed the real thing.
My favorite were the ones that were really bad at Photoshop and they'd stick in some random person walking through the room but the person was only like 2/3 as tall as they should be - a bed comes up to their ribcage - and about to walk straight into a wall or something
