Amazon uses AI to invent products you can't buy

Amazon launched an AI feature in its app Wednesday that generates fake product images in real-time as users type search terms. The tool creates images of nonexistent items rather than displaying actual products from Amazon's inventory.

Amazon's latest AI shopping "feature" generates fake product images while you type, because apparently searching through the world's largest pile of actual products was too grounded in reality. Available starting today, the Amazon app will generate images of products as you type words into the search bar.
