I haven't commented on the forums in quite a while, but this...this requires comment.

If I can load up the "what's new" page and IMMEDIATELY have my eyes drawn toward 2 products that are BLATANTLY using AI genned images, that's a problem.

If the merchant wants to use "AI enchanced"  on some of their sample/example imaages, that's one thing.  But to have the primary promotion image, used to sell the product in the marketplace, be AI genned...that's pretty bad.

A primary promotion image should be created/rendered in whatever program the product is used in and should primarliy focus on the item being sold.  It should not be a showcase for the merchant's ability to type in a prompt.  And the product description page should clearly inform the potential buyer that AI has been used to make the product look better.

I'll go farther and suggest that AI genned or "enhanced" images should not be used in the marketplace at all.
