Recently BaT had an auction for a 1999 Cadillac DeVille... A pretty unremarkable car IMO, but to each their own.
The thing was that the majority of the photo's were VERY obviously AI generated or edited.
The auction was removed - but left up for us all to see - kudo's to BaT for doing so.
But how with the pictures of the car so far off base.... How did BaT not see that....???
The auction comments are numerous - and if you have some time - worth a quick review.
BaT also addresses this in their podcast.
One thing that really bugs me is that the tone of the podcast is kind of....
"Yeah - we should have done better. It's a learning opportunity for us and..... &^%$"
Almost in a shoulder shrugging manner. Makes me uneasy on how to view the authenticity of their auctions moving forward.
YMMV as always.
Keep the shiny side up.
