AI Art in Market Place

[Caete]

Well, the usual fun or seeing free items being rehashed as new continues only now we get AI art to deceive the shopper and snag sales (hopefully not). Our new offenders are Lilly Apparels – Where Style Meets Virtual Elegance and Jubaerk. Both are reselling expensive copies of Aley's Nautilus and Fishy Submarines hiding behind AI art/enhanced art. At least Jubaerk does show in world pictures so you can see the real thing is Aley's build.

The Nautilus: Steampunk DeepSea Cruiser – Mesh Submarine (Second Life) and D-Nautilus Submarine by Jubaerk – Steampunk Mega Submarine (Copy Only) – Large Detailed RP Explorer Ship with Glow Effec original: D-Nautilus Submarine SPD (32 - 221 prims)

Fishy Submarine: Fishy Submarine – Steampunk Deep-Sea Explorer and Fishy Submarine by Jubaerk – Steampunk Explorer Sub Vehicle (Copy Only) – Detailed Animated Submarine for RP & Adventure original: Fishy Submarine (14 prims)

Everything under the Jubaerk store (Fishy Submarine seems to have taken a hike) is pure overpriced ripped product. The AI is definitely at work under their extremely verbose and bombastic Details, though. I would immediately suspect something is wrong here by it (well, that and the pricing).

The stuff from "Lilly Apparels" is typical suspicious shit, period. The clothes look worse than current in-world mesh fashion. It doesn't help there's no mesh body types it's said to fit (Legacy, etc.) or if it's older fitmesh style. Even reviews they've gotten look fake.

There doesn't seem to be any depth on a lot of it, are they pushing old texture based clothing?

Quite possibly. I've noticed a fair amount of "new content creators" with old fashions, outdated shoes, "bom" clothing that looks like super early underwear layers clothing, etc. All of it seems to run from 300-2000 L. I fear most of their content would be overpriced on a 25L Tuesday sale. No offense about the 25L Tuesday content creators, I've seen some wonderful stuff in that sale.

And I worry my slightly outdated Mesh t shirts no one buys at 50L are ripping people off.

Maybe I need to be more dishonest.... :/

Now we have a new scamming piece of crap on the MP. I present you Crojerr who joined SL on May 14, 2025. Besides selling heavily discounted items from varied merchants, even freebies from ages past. They are even stealing pictures for their junk. I use the term junk knowingly that it applies to some of my older yet still selling items.
I give you mine: Facelight 4400 Turbo
Crojerr's version WITH my picture TurboGlow 4400 Facelight – Ultra-Bright Avatar Illumination
Mine: UFO Face/Body Light
Crojerr's with heavily edited my picture GlowAura Face & Body Light – Full Perm Version 1.1

A resolution has happened. While it did take a bit longer than the couple of days listed on the website, I expected it to be slower over the holidays and all the fun staffing that happens over them. About a week ago I got notified they had received my DMCA filings. Today I got a final response.
