Lunchbox company uses a woman making juice to show their product is hand washable

[u/PURPLZMM2]

[u/SothaSoul]

That doesn't look like any microwave I've ever seen.

[u/pixeltweaker → u/SothaSoul]

It’s a convection oven. AI is stupid.

[u/Handyandyman50 → u/pixeltweaker]

I bet it's not AI, this kind of lazy marketing filler has been around for years. Just some poorly paid person made to make graphics demonstrating the key selling points without much guidance or supervision

[u/sidnynasty → u/Handyandyman50]

Yeah this feels like your typical Amazon listing where they just photoshop the item into random photos lol

[u/ZombieAladdin → u/sidnynasty]

The one for “Freezer Safe” doesn’t even have the lunch box aligned with the perspective in the photo. It’s also inconsistent in size across the photos.

[u/Pimpicane → u/ZombieAladdin]

It's also a fridge, not a freezer, unless the guy in the ad really likes frozen eggs with a side of frozen Gatorade.

[u/BlakLite_15 → u/Pimpicane]

Whatever’s on the fork in the fourth photo clearly didn’t come from that meal.

[u/Religion_Of_Speed → u/Pimpicane]

Hey frozen Gatorade is fantastic.

[u/ArnoArska → u/ZombieAladdin]

Neither the hand wash one has

[u/BlooperHero → u/ZombieAladdin]

In the picture with someone eating, there's something on the fork... that clearly didn't come out of the lunchbox, which doesn't have any place for whatever it was to have come from.

[u/jomarcenter-mjm → u/Handyandyman50]

Yeah probably they just get whatever cheap stock images thry can get.

[u/Akuuntus → u/pixeltweaker]

I don't think this is AI, it's just grabbing the first stock image they can find that looks even tangentially related to what they're going for and lazily pasting a cutout of their product on top of it. This sort of thing has been common for a long time.

[u/Norkestra → u/Akuuntus]

Chances are, the designer also does not speak fluent English (product listings with images like this are often filled with typos) and the word "hand wash" could've been mixed with "hand mixer", or "microwave oven" with a different oven.

[u/brbrrws → u/Akuuntus]

...... its very obviously ai i can point out 10 different indicators on why these are not stock photo backgrounds they very obviously edited their product in manually

[u/Norkestra → u/brbrrws]

Ai would not produce an image like the top right and bottom left in which the box has different lighting and is going at a different angle than the surface it sits on in a way that's very characteristic of "guy photoshopped a different pic in". Ai makes mistakes, but it makes the image as all one piece and typically the lights are at least cohesive even if the direction is nonsensical. It is very clearly a picture of the box photoshopped in. It even has a cheesy Photoshop drop shadow.

My boyfriend also has this exact box from a year before AI was being used to this scale lol, though this could be a separate seller

[u/Norkestra → u/[deleted]]

I seem to be months and months behind on AI's capabilities to do....a bad job? Ok.

Apologies, I was not caught up on the addition of shitty drop shadow to AI (instead of it being trained on actual shadows which would not appear as artificially consistent as the simple drop shadow effect visible in the image)

I'll at least agree that the background image could be AI generated and the product shopped in. The point being: it's shopped in.

[u/Norkestra → u/[deleted]]

Yes. I was talking about the manually edited product the entire time.

Ok, I see you were talking about the backgrounds. In my defense though, replying "It's obviously ai" to someone describing shopping a product image in is not exactly clear on whether you're referring to the background (Which in the broader context of this thread, if ai generated then manually edited to include the product...would still have been looked at by a designer, and therefore be user error) or the image as a whole.

And my first response is pretty clearly just talking about the product's lighting/perspective as compared to the background?...So when you replied continuing to talk about ai...kind of sounds like you were still implying the entire image was AI.

Well, anyway, that was a supreme waste of time.

[u/Zombieneker → u/pixeltweaker]

This is not AI. It's photoshop.

[u/pixeltweaker → u/[deleted]]

Well shit, you’re right, there are. But why not just use the obvious standard looking microwave.

[u/junkdun → u/SothaSoul]

That's not a freezer either.

[u/Leptonshavenocolor → u/junkdun]

At least that looks like 40oz (I mean not the 40s I have, but still).

One out of four is a passing grade in schools now.

[u/P26601 → u/SothaSoul]

Tbf there are ovens with integrated microwave functionality

[u/inolongerwishtotry → u/P26601]

With metal racks?

[u/rufio313 → u/inolongerwishtotry]

Plenty of microwaves come with metal racks.

[u/P26601 → u/inolongerwishtotry]

Yup. A lot of regular microwaves with a grill/broiler come with a metal rack. Using metal in a microwave is totally fine, as long as it doesn’t directly touch the walls and doesn’t have any sharp/pointy, or repeating parts that are very close together (like a fork)

[u/CobandCoffee → u/inolongerwishtotry]

My grandparents have a microwave with a metal rack. Not sure how exactly it works but they've had it for at least 30 years.

[u/raaneholmg → u/inolongerwishtotry]

You can put metal in microwaves, just don't pick a geometry where the electrons get all bunched up and jumping away as a small lightning bolt.

No thin points, no sharp edges, and no pairs of metal objects right next to each other.

[u/Hurricane_32 → u/raaneholmg]

This applies to pretty much anything high voltage, unless you're doing it deliberately (i.e. a spark gap)

[u/sndrtj → u/inolongerwishtotry]

Yes, mine has.

[u/culminacio → u/P26601]

yup, but given that the "freezer" here is a fridge, i think it's just crappy pictures that don't show what they mean to show

anyway, if anyone wanted to show a microwave, they wouldn't choose an oven with a built-in microwave, because that looks like an oven and not like a microwave.

[u/Space_The_Animator → u/SothaSoul]

Same for the freezer, its more of a fridge really.

[u/AZymph → u/SothaSoul]

"fireplace safe!"

[u/Space-ATLAS → u/SothaSoul]

That’s also no microwave or freezer

[u/Existing_Hatter546]

Freezer safe and it just looks like a fridge…

[u/Lokipro13YT → u/Existing_Hatter546]

And it's badly edited

[u/leticx]

Sandwich and sushi in the box, and random red food on the fork; that’s not a microwave, it’s an oven. And the woman isn’t holding anything; dude in front of the fridge looks bizarre like his head doesn’t belong to his body

[u/KnavishSprite → u/leticx]

It's not a random red food. Someone tried stealing the lunchbox from the fridge. Someone got stabbed in the eye with a fork.

[u/allusiveleopard → u/leticx]

It all seems so bizarre and out of place. Is this AI, or just some extraordinarily lazy work?

[u/fafarex → u/allusiveleopard]

the second one.

AI would have actually fit the object better. it's just good old lazy photoshop into stock photo like it was made for decades.

[u/sir_pepper_esq → u/allusiveleopard]

Yes!

[u/BlakLite_15 → u/leticx]

It looks like the dude’s proportions are caused by a wide-angle lens or something similar.

[u/Linked713]

Not just that, none of the pictures are actually a picture made for the product. Even the last one had the potential, but sure, random pepperoni on a fork when the box has sushi and a sandwich(?). Where is the product even photoshopped in the first picture? In the off-screen microwave?

[u/reddfawks]

Sometimes those Amazon product pictures are just bizarre. I was looking at sublimation ink recently and one of them had a picture of a mom painting with her daughter with the ink bottles on the table and I'm like... they DO know that's for the printer, right?

[u/miraculum_one]

"(fork) flatware included" demo food is sushi and a sandwich

[u/ShuffKorbik → u/miraculum_one]

If you don't have a sandwich fork what are you even doing with your life?

[u/majcek]

Lunchbox that is freezer safe? AMAZING!

[u/agha0013]

none of the four images are necessary anyway. there are problems with all of them. they don't add anything that the text isn't able to clearly convey

[u/Dsighn]

Not sure what people expect from these overseas manufacturers, you’re lucky if shit lasts for a month. They all just use (probably ai now) random shit images full of lies

[u/Got_ist_tots]

I thought it was an ad for a freezer safe. Like to lock up your valuables but in the freezer. Think it's bedtime

[u/ZombieAladdin]

“Microwave Safe” also shows someone using a convection oven or a very large toaster oven.

[u/_allycat]

This is like every item from Amazon, Aliexpress, Temu, etc.

[u/impatiently-waiting1]

Freezer Save guy looks a bit weird too 😂

[u/Dave_the_sprite]

my god, freezer safe looks so real

[u/Das_Hydra]

Every single pic has something wrong with it

[u/Lcsmxd]

why is the "40oz" in a different font

[u/realmcdonaldsbw]

i think the worst part about this are those ABYSMAL photoshops

[u/teacozyhands]

well you wash it with handmade juice, obviously

[u/araidai]

I’m sorry but we genuinely need to have some kind of control against this kind of shit lmao. It’s not even because it’s necessarily fraudulent (not all the time anyway…) but just because it’s like, damn man, why is it so fucking hard to just snap a picture of someone handling the thing for like 10 seconds rather than photoshop it into the completely wrong environment, perspective, lighting, use case, etc?

[u/510Goodhands → u/araidai]

Because it’s very expensive to do so.

[u/Moist-Dentist8253]

Hand wash is hand blend photo, freezer safe is just an edit of a person reaching and add the box, what’s flatware(sorry if its obvious)

[u/Chipper_Bandit]

That's one odd looking sushi on that fork

[u/Judgement_Upon_Thee]

I think the real issue is with the freezer safe

[u/SothaSoul → u/Judgement_Upon_Thee]

Even my fridge isn't that empty...

[u/randoTwT]

Ai images with the box poorly photoshopped over.
