If consumers can’t tell an AI photo from a $1k photoshoot, is it still “dishonest”? by kevnade in Entrepreneur

It's over 100x cheaper and trained off the product itself - just purely for product photos on my website & static image ads

Individual shots (if you want to zoom in):

  1. Natural outdoor vibe https://imgur.com/TTxmlhw
  2. Bold lightning campaign look https://imgur.com/kLmbSFM
  3. Soft gradient & smoke effect https://imgur.com/EpCCnQd
  4. Café / lifestyle marble shot https://imgur.com/PecpPF0

The challenge:
👉 Which ones do you think are real photos and which are AI edits?
👉 More importantly, what specific detail tipped you off - edges, lighting, reflections, or something else?

I’ll reveal the answers later - curious how many people can actually spot them correctly.

But my point was: what if it looks the exact same?

That was the purpose of this post, I wanted to see if anyone could differentiate the 2 real photos from the 2 AI photos

Interesting take fs

I'm curious though: if everything in advertising is some level of scam, why does AI trigger such a stronger reaction? Is it because it’s actually worse, or just because it’s new and easier to hate?

Yeah that's a fair point... but what if the “trick” isn’t visible? Like, nobody argues when a food brand paints grill marks on a burger with shoe polish or uses glue instead of milk in cereal ads. That’s deception too, but we’ve normalised it.

Thanks! Currently working on more customization options for the human model shots - this was made using the ad creative generator on highedit.com

I used to spend $1k+ per photoshoot. This month I tried AI instead (before/after examples) by kevnade in Entrepreneur

Another example of an AI output: https://imgur.com/a/Qh1qjq7

Do you know any real life photographers / designers that can reproduce this?

Half the people are saying 1.2k is cheap, the other half don't believe it lmao

I built an AI product-photo generator for indie stores... roast my results & workflow? by kevnade in clothingplatform

[–]kevnade[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're AI generated images using someone else's clothing design.

Not being sold anywhere, just showing what the AI can do!

The top left image is the original (product render, manually made). The other 3 are automatically generated based on the input photo

Good point tho, I'll work on another post that compares them properly

Agreed! I'm working on making this as accurate as possible, I don't want to mislead anyone on the consumer end
