If someone needs to use generative AI to market a product, then that product doesn't exist.
I don't think the product actually existing is something scammers are typically concerned about
But it's a good rule of thumb for consumers. or at least for us to tell our parents.
I test products for a major online retailer, the amount of AI generated images is too damn high! Some of these producs are so bad I just give them away once the retention period (when you cannot sell or give them) is up. But sometimes you get some pretty good surprises (like those electric insect bite healer devices, that works surprising well).
