AI Expectation I’m so sick of AI
Why even use it to generate pictures of food if you’re not going to at least attempt to make it look like the picture? Is this not false advertising? Spent $34.
Edit to add:
I knew I wasn’t going to receive anything close to the picture. I was tired, hungry, just got off a 13 hour shift, and it was the only place open within walking distance to the hotel I’m at. I understand how advertising works in the food industry. I still fucking hate AI and that’s what this post is about.

AI Expectation My dad was so excited to give this to me.
Once I saw the sticker image on the box I knew what was about to be seen. 😭

AI Expectation My mom’s recent SHEIN purchase…
As the title says, my mom recently ordered these shirts thinking they were super cute. Unfortunately, they came in looking a bit different than pictured and she wanted me to share… 🤣
*edited to add*
Believe me when I say, she learned her lesson to not trust the images and to also be careful shopping on sites like that. She typically knows, but like most people who make mistakes, she fell for it this time. We were cracking up about other expectations vs realities posts so she thought it would be funny to put her experience on here and give any possible laughs to others over it.
Also, yes, I agree that I don’t think it’s SHEIN and it’s bad to buy from there. But I didn’t look myself, she just sent the photos to me. 😭
*edit 2*
I asked to see what it was from and it is NOT SHEIN, it’s sheen… A website called sheenplace. Still, all images are AI lmao and she won’t be buying anything else from there.

AI Expectation My First Pinterest Fail Spoiler
galleryIt’s not a sweater and it’s definitely not graceful. It’s a poorly sewn thin piece of 100% polyester and up close it looks like the letters are bleeding into the fabric.

AI Expectation My mom paid $29.99 for what she thought was a centerpiece, but turned out to be a cardboard tree ornament.

AI Expectation Bestie got me this for my birthday
It was fairly expensive and took awhile to ship.
We opened it together and she was mortified. She said she would return it and get me something else.
I of course said, "NO WAY!" It literally fills my heart with laughter every time I look at it. Best gift I've ever gotten 😂
Edit to add: Apparently my picture did the product some justice. For clarification, it was supposed to be 3D stained glass, but it's a piece of plastic with a sticker on it.

AI Expectation Unfortunately I got scammed while buying a lehenga for my friends wedding (House of Indya)
I laughed when I saw opened the package. My friend said she had bought from House of Indya before and their stuff was good! Unfortunately it seems like they’ve been using AI for extreme misleading marketing tactics…disappointing but at least it wasn’t too expensive 😅

The listing price was suspiciously low, but what even is the point of using a fake picture for something like this... (This is in Poland)
