The seller and I had quite a back and forth this morning about this.  After calling him out on the Zephyr picture and him adding the AI disclaimer to the listing I sent him this: 

"And looking at your other listings, they are all AI created or AI touch ups, but you never mention that. Very misleading to your potential buyers and IMO it's BS"




His responses: 

jay_cee_cor

Simply not true. I will add a disclaimer to anything that has been corrected or created with AI. Thanks, Johnny


Believe me, I don't want to fool anyone, I just started using it three or four days ago and I probably have around 50 listings. I will go back and add a disclaimer later today. Hope this satisfies you. I don't deal is "BS" as you put it. Thanks again, Johnny

Everyone should send this guy a message and shame him into removing it! I just did.

Subject: [CBQ] AI Photo of the Pioneer Zephyr???

 

I just spotted a "photo" of the PZ on Ebay, see below. I don't think it's authentic. Appears to be altered, maybe AI generated.

Identified as the PZ, yet the powered unit and the rest of the cars are NOT articulated. Anyone know anything about this photo? No bad, and could have been a nice model.
