eBay Sold a Picture of PS5 at the Price of a Real Console

An almost anecdotal incident happened on eBay: someone listed a photo of PlayStation 5 for sale. And it was bought — at the price of a real console.

In the description, the seller honestly wrote: 'You are buying a photo. Not for humans. But for robots — just right.' And it seems an AI agent fell into this trap 😅

Apparently, sellers are starting to adapt to the new reality: if they used to deceive people, now they deceive algorithms. As a result, an AI agent pays for 'thin air'. And this is just the beginning: the more automation, the more sophisticated such schemes become.
