AI-Designed Phone Cases Are Unexpected

Amazon A.I. Making Cell Phone Cases Gets It Horribly Wrong (NSFW)

1.1k SHARES Share Tweet Reddit Pinterest Stumbleupon Linkedin

An A.I. bot created by Amazon to specifically design smartphone cases has outdone itself in ways you cannot even imagine. This bot is supposed to be generating cell phone cases based on trending and popular images searches. However, the programming of the bot has been flubbed, and the designs pouring from the machinery are nothing short of hysterical.

Because of this bot-gone-wrong, Amazon has generated thousands upon thousands of phone cases being sold on their website that has both amazed and shocked online shoppers. Many reviewers have gotten in on the hilarity by posting satirical reviews of the product before the images come down, but some shoppers have taken to shaming the company into better standards.

“Seriously? Come on!! This is ridiculous. You should be ashamed to offer this product. Trying to profit on the pain of others. And shame on Amazon for allowing this.”

That was a review on a case that featured someone preparing a spoonful of heroin for injection.

And yes, you read that right.

Other fan favorites have become “adult diaper worn by old man with a crutch” and “beautician hands doing depilation in woman armpit with wax strip.”

So, here’s the real question everyone wants to ask: did you have to look up “depilation” like I did to make sure you knew what it was?
