Crazy things are happening on Wayfair
(lemmy.nz)
I'm so confused. Was this intentional? Did AI backfire and they uploaded the output anyway? Was it malicious compliance?
And I thought my discovery with their AI gen furniture was bad. Was shopping for a bedframe and found this amongst the mix:
Ah yes, that bedframe must be from the coveted M.C. Escher collection.
It would be cool if it were feasible, but I also wanna know exactly what the end product will look like. I've seen a few of these generated pics on Wayfair, and outside of cost, what else would they be reducing by cutting out the physical model and people involved? Like won't the return rate go up and then cost them (significantly) more anyway?
Oh wait, it is just about line go up.
Taking high quality shots isn't cheap, but subsidized slop machine vomit sure is!
I'd much rather have low-quality shots of the actual product than AI generated images that may or may not somewhat resemble the actual product.
A modern smartphone would take a good shot.
They just can't be bothered to mock it up, I guess.
If this was real, I'd be so impressed! The impossible geometry clearly indicates... Well, who wouldn't want a non-euclidean bed‽
I mean... infinite comfiness? Just gotta find a non-euclidean mattress now.
Perfect for bruising your lower leg!
Was this being sold as an actual product?
Yep. Linky.
So there's a second image that looks actually plausible. The gables are turned the other way, and the geometry checks out.
I think that part the reason why it seemed so strange. That image could easily also be AI (like 95% sure), but it's getting really difficult to recognize sometimes. Only tell I found so far was the weird bunny on the shelf facing away from the shot, and the text on the books is too low-res to gauge. The string lights are a bit sus too.
Even if I didn't have a shed full of woodworking tools I wouldn't buy it.
