Nothing smells more like a bubble when a feature like this makes it out to production. They probably worked on 10 other ideas, and this is what they thought was the best one.

Find products that look like these AI images

WHO THE FUCK IS THIS FOR?! HOWS ABOUT YOU GIVE ME PHOTOS OF ACTUAL GODDAMN PRODUCTS AND LET ME DECIDE WHICH FUCKING THING I WANT TO BUY?!?! Are there really people out there that find this helpful? Like, I guess I can understand prompting certain parameters you want in a product and then seeing if the LLM agent can find something that fits those. But this whole "here let the LLM do all your thinking for you" thing is utterly bewildering to me. "Here, we slopped up some chair images, any of those look like something you want to buy? They might not actually exist, but at least we have your attention which is the only thing we really care about at all."

Holy fuck this is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while.

What if you click on the foot chair?

I had the same reaction to accidentally using the “new google”. I was using a newer laptop and didn’t set DDG as the default search.

I was searching for “devil may cry season 2 discussion site:Reddit.com” (yes I know…) to get a barometer if it’s worth watching.

Instead I get a Wikipedia result for “Devil”, 5 ads, and 0 Reddit links. Clearly that’s what I was looking for.

I switched to DDG on that laptop so fast.

Why would you ever want an imaginary image of a product you were going to buy? Just seems like a way to increase returns.

upvoted for not using red circle, find the problem was part of the fun

You're just not prompting it correctly, bro.

So many storefronts have AI garbage images. When looking for a bed frame I wanted to get on that only had the corner supports and something in the middle of the bed, no middle of the side toe stubbing supports. Half the images on a variety of sites for the same frames had supports in some images and not others on each site.

Online shopping is a hellhole now, although it looks like Amazon is getting ahead of the pack in making things shitty.

Sad part, they already had a legitimate usecase for AI. They could just let you describe a product in your own words and let AI find the best fits within their store. But no. They had to go for that.

Getting an actual photo of the product was already rare as fuck before AI generated bullshit and is one of many reasons I haven't used Amazon unless absolutely necessary for several years already. Like, it hasn't been really all that different in quality or matching the product description to what you actually are buying from Wish or Temu for a long time, other than being more expensive for the same garbage and shipping it faster.

Ah, a severed foot, just what I needed.

Is the foot sold separately?

Customers commonly purchased this item together with: SCP-610

Okay, I followed the instructions. My foot should be well rested by now, how do I reattach it?

This is one of the dumbest use of AI I've yet to see.

AI've had enough!

I LOVE FEET

On Pinterest I've seen lots of Temu ads, that have images of products that resemble the images i'm viewing, but don't make sense at all.

The look mostly creepy and very uncanny.

Clicking on any Temu ad gives you the homepage.

cut out AI and keep "show first result next to search prediction" and this would be actually a great feature
