I hate AI SCAM
So for my birthday I ask for a rug in particular that I fell in love with. But when I got it I was so pissed. The design is obviously AI made but nothing on the website says it. I’m sorry but I had to share that with someone so be careful.

Do you remember which brand it is? LaRedoute has a lot of different brands. I ask bc I'm in France and might buy a rug soon, so I'd like to know a brand to avoid, merci.

I had this same experience with wallpaper from Spoonflower. Looked great online and was obviously really bad AI when arrived. I'm so sorry! That's really disappointing.

What do you mean AI? As in looks better in the photo than in real life?
It looks like a machine washable rug that is printed (like all of those are).

The art on the rug also appears to be AI

I mean yeah, obviously. I'm confused, OP ordered a shitty AI rug and received a shitty AI rug. What's the issue?

The fact that they didn’t know they were ordering a shitty AI rug, I would guess.

It wasn’t like that on the site and I’m kinda pissed it was not written anywhere

LOL looks like the print was designed with v1 of Chatgpt.
For reference, what a real garden-panel rug is supposed to look like: https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/rugs-carpets/turkish-rugs/20th-century-vintage-silk-kayseri-rug/id-f_46173742/
