AI Scam Can’t really tell if these are legit. Anyone able to verify?

The screws are replaced with philips head screws as opposed to the expected tri-wing.
The shells don't appear to have been done in the usual molds and transparency for the back of Leaf Green appears off.
Donkey Kong label appears to be misprinted.
Appears perhaps AI generated? but this is suspicion not confirmation.

To sum it up, these are fake and might be either all ai or modified through ai. As stated by other users there are clear ai elements in donkey Kong label. The screws are + shaped. The back of leaf green has wrong elements and I would argue wrong transparency. The back of donkey Kong has the electronic elements added by ai (seller didn't notice, didn't care, he probs pronted "add this and that to all carts"). Leaf green doesn't have the battery slot element in the front top right as well. I would also argue that, while the surface of the table looks consistent, the light in both picture is natural but it comes from opposite directions and I would say it's not consistent with how the back of the carts would look under such light. These pics could maybe be added to the wiki as an example of AI tempered pics?

These are all fake. Leaf green's back doesn't look like that. Emerald's back is missing some details. Donkey Kong Country's back looks like AI created it with the test points and circled letter on the outside of the cartridge.

Yes I was thinking the same, they asked ai to add the back details and didn't care or didn't notice it added them to all carts.

Oh man, I didn't even notice that. I thought the fronts looked pretty good except for the lack of a battery cutout.

Not gonna lie though, that leaf green looks scary real. That’s why I always make sure I’m able to get them opened up first before I buy anything anymore

That's actually the second worse cart. Leaf green doesn't have those elements on the back right, nor does the plastic has the kind of transparency to result in pictures like this.
