Bright pictures of black strawberries, giant nuts and raspberry-strawberry hybrids attract gullible gardeners. In some cases, sellers create unrealistic photos of existing varieties, but it is not uncommon for non-existent plants to be sold.
As Vestnik Surgutsky District writes, buyers leave angry reviews en masse. Some people get bushes instead of huge trees, others complain that they get dead branches instead of seedlings.
Deputy Chairman of the World Russian People's Council Mikhail Ivanov proposed to oblige sites to label AI images and prohibit the use of generated images for selling seeds. In his opinion, only real photos are acceptable, and liability for false information should be strengthened.
Gardeners are advised to buy seeds only from certified sellers and check varieties according to the State Register of Breeding Achievements.
