A PS5 picture sold on eBay for the price of a real console

A near-anecdotal case occurred on eBay: someone listed a photo of the PlayStation 5 for sale. And it was bought — at the price of a real console.

In the description, the seller honestly wrote: "You're buying a photo. Not for humans. But for robots — just the thing." And it seems an AI agent fell for the trap

It looks like sellers are starting to adapt to the new reality: if before they deceived humans, 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.
