I've noticed something similar in Facebook marketplace ads for used furniture. Most of the images are AI generated to look like a Pottery Barn catalog, then the last image will be the actual item, full of scratches and other damage, sitting in a messy garage.

I've started to see this on Etsy and Wayfair too, where there will be a listing that is clearly just MDF flatpack being resold from China, but the AI-generated images wildly exaggerate the proportions of it. Here's a recent example: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4509158065/corner-wall-shelf... Ironically, ChatGPT is decently good at ferreting these out. Like I sent it a screenshot of that listing and it not only he…

Even funnier is that first picture shows the bottom panel overlapping the baseboard in a way that is impossible in real life.

Good or bad, I’m pretty sure showing things in the best light has always been the point of “marketing”. There is a reason ads aren’t filled with ugly people with misshaped bodies, and it isn’t because the intention is to reflect reality, so what you allude to as problematic is what a lot of businesses call a feature.

I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere people can sell re-sell clothes. They can include a picture of themselves wearing the item and it replaces literally everything but the clothing with someone/someplace "prettier". In the end the one thing that is completely honest is the portion of the picture that is the item you are re-selling. But somehow to me the entire thing feels disingenuous.

Marketing a product is often disingenuous. You didn’t actually need that shirt, or that bag of chips. That’s the definition of successful marketing in their mind.

If marketing had to be honest, an entirely different set of products would likely be the most popular. I don’t think that’s a good thing by any means, just that the problem hasn’t really changed much beyond more focused targeting, which has always been a goal of marketing anyway.

It’s hard to convince someone who isn’t interested to buy something which is why tech ads sell on tech channels and car ads sell on car channels. Now you get to star in your very own clothes ads…for yourself…targeting you…

I suspect companies drool for that prospect because you are selling it to yourself with only some nice gentle nudging. That is the grail of marketing; that you don’t even realize you are in the midst of being marketed to.

To me it feels so weird that people are trying to push these model for online shopping like "here is how this dress/shirt/pants would look on you". But these models will always make the clothes fit your body and show you in flattering light and so on. How the actual garment fits is still as elusive as before these tools

User-targeted fashion advice is the polite goal. AI designed to generate images of people is actually racing to capture the entertainment markets. They want to be ready to replace models/actors in everything from fashion mags to porn studios. That is where the money is.

"the premium of in person" is a string of words that only means something to people in a very specific circle where everyone is constantly trying to tastemake and write in lower case.

Ironically they have extremely limited influence on how the larger world moves: normal people won't meaningfully change their habits around eating good food or meeting up with each other just because AI can generate a picture of either.

It’s clear to us here on HN but to the average person today the way these models actually work is beyond the realm of constraints and reasoning.

The meta keywords in the HTML is very interesting. 100+ references to NSFW topics such as hentai, nudes, etc.

Interesting too that they would include "ai friend" when China just added restrictions on AI "partners" such that many services stopped offering them rather than try to adhere to the restrictions.

How long until we get rid of the AI "plasticness" in portrait kind of generated images?

The right models and LORAs can get rid of it right now. People apparently really like everyone to look like over exposed over filtered mannequins, so the big companies target that look.

what are the right models and loras?

I would attribute any in-person cultural shift to the generation of 20-somethings trapped online during their teenage years from COVID. They are finally old enough, and have enough power to run things.

This will push us even more to go outside and visit actual shops. Becouse thanks to AI we will have more time? Will we?
