I'm afraid I need to chime in as well regarding the growing use of AI in promotional renders.

I've been a customer/vendor here a long time and very much understand the concept of "artistic renders". They are great to show customers what they can potentially do with a product and can be very inspiring. But some of what I'm seeing now go beyond that into what I would consider serious misrepresentation. And to not even(as far a I can see) label them as such when they are being used as the Main image? It makes me, as a customer, not trust this marketplace.

As an example, this recent product from Powerage, a vendor I have been buying from and admiring for about two decades:

Victorian Greenhouse.

I saw it on my phone, late at night, and immediately threw it into my cart without even looking at the rest of the renders. However, yesterday, I looked at it more closely and realized the main thumb/promo has to be AI. Here's what bothered me the most:

Main Promo(AI?)

Real Render (4th Promo, I think)

There are no steps leading up to the greenhouse. There is little to no scuffing/wear (as far as I can see) on the exterior/paint, and at least one of the flower pots is not as intricately modelled as initially pictured. These are just a few issues, but I think the lack of steps is actually huge, because that is not just "dressing up" the image; that is showing me modelled architecture that isn't there(as far as I can tell).

I did not buy it, but if I had, I would have demanded a refund for deceptive advertising. 

AI promos need to be labeled as such, like the character RAV Pei was. There needs to be clay renders of props/sets so that the actual geometry is viewable. In my opinion, AI renders should not be the main promo.

What the lack of clarity regarding AI in the store is doing to me is making me not trust Renderosity any longer.
