This product was tested and the vendor did make promotional images showing the product as it is packaged. Vendors are allowed to have artistic type images as long as they also show the contents included and they are marked artistic. The AI was used for the expressions only and that is why it was marked with AI. The testers here are the best in the industry and wouldn’t allow something to pass if it didn’t work as it was marketed to. This specific vendor often uses his own characters to show AI expressions or movement. 

Is that the requirement? Because I'm seeing other products where the AI image is unlabeled, it's not marked as "artistic", and it's the first image, the image that shows up in searches and product lists. And only when you start clicking through the other images do you see that it is misrepresenting the product.


So even that very weak rule is not being adhered to.
