Similar story. I'm American but work and live outside the US, so I don't know how likely this would be if I had ordered from Amazon. But I ordered a rug for my sons' room from this country's equivalent to Amazon (that is, the most popular order-online-and-we-ship-to-you storefront in this country), and instead of what I ordered (a rug with an image showing the planets, with labels in English) I got an obviously AI-generated copy of the image, whose letters were often mangled (MARS looked like MɅPS, for example). Thankfully the storefront allowed me to return it for a refund, I ordered from a different seller on the second try, and this time I received a rug that precisely matched the image on the storefront. But yes, there are unscrupulous merchants who are using AI to sloppily copy other people's work.

Another similar story: My aunt passed away last year, and an acquaintance of my cousin sent her one of those "hug in a box" care packages you can buy off Amazon.

Except when it was delivered, this one said "hug in a boy" and "with heaetfelt equqikathy" (whatever the hell that means). When we looked up the listing on Amazon it was clear it was actually wrong in the pictures, just well hidden with well placed objects in front of the mistakes. It seems like they ripped off another popular listing that had a similar font/contents/etc.

Luckily my cousin found it hilarious.
