Would you buy a product if you realized that the product photos are edited with AI?
(Not entirely generated by AI, mainly edited)
Just curious what people think about this topic.

How important are the product photos before you buy something?
Do you buy based on the product photo primarily (if you think it looks good and what you need it to be)?
And would you mind if the product photo was edited or generated with AI if it still 100% reflects the product accurately?

Are you using AI product photography yet?
Curious where people landed on this.
I’ve seen stores using AI lifestyle shots that look surprisingly decent, and others that scream “generated” in 2 seconds (weird hands, melted labels, lighting that doesn’t match the product).
If you sell physical products:
- Are you using AI for packshots, lifestyle, or ads?
- If yes, does it convert or just save time?
- If no, what’s the thing that still feels off?
Not looking for tool recs. Just curious what people think about this.

Pont du Gard: tallest surviving Roman aqueduct bridge, still holding the line after ~1,970 years
The Pont du Gard is the surviving showpiece of the aqueduct that supplied Nemausus. Built c. 40–60 AD (Claudius/Nero era, the old Agrippa / 19 BC story doesn’t hold up well anymore), it is the tallest Roman aqueduct bridge still standing at 48.8 m, and the only ancient three-storey bridge left intact.
Three stacked arcades: 6 great arches below, 11 in the middle, originally 47 small ones on top (35 remain). The upper channel once ran about 360 m; what’s left is 275 m. The stone is local shelly limestone from the Estel quarry. The lower two levels are huge dry-laid blocks, precision and weight, not mortar.
The whole line drops only about 17 m over 50 km (roughly 25 cm per kilometre). On the bridge itself the fall is something like 2.5 cm. Water took a day or more to reach the city and, at peak, something on the order of 20,000–40,000 m³ a day for baths, fountains, and houses. It ran for centuries; neglect and carbonate scale finally killed the flow around the 6th century.
Roman engineering at its finest.

Timgad, Algeria
A perfectly planned Roman colonial city with a grid layout still clearly visible from the air, one of the best examples of Roman urban design.
