Aquariums: pretty sure petsmart is now using ai generated images on their website…
do these look obviously AI generated to anyone else or just me?? yet another reason to not support petsmart!

That second one looks like something you’d get for a garden ornament, not a real live species to put in an aquarium.

At this point it just feels like using generative AI for the sake of using generative AI. How much cheaper could this possibly be than a worker snapping a picture with their phone? They also probably had pictures of these snails before and CHANGED them to this slop.
I hope we get legislation making using generated images for products illegal.

Yeah it is lol. Apart from the iffy artstyle the anatomy is all wrong too. Many aquatic snails don’t possess eyestalks like land snails, rather often it’s positioned on a small stalk near the base of their largest pair of tentacles (antennae).
Mystery snails are no exception to this rule and obviously the AI trained on generic snail pictures has no idea how to properly draw correct tentacle anatomy of aquatic snails

They never had good pictures to begin with. If you zoomed in on some them you could see watermarks lol.

The sku on the 2nd one comes up on their site as an Ivory Mystery snail. Looking at pics of real ones this def does seem AI or at least heavily altered to make its shell look perfectly white.
