# Amazon will show AI product images when you search for some reason

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Amazon announced it will display AI-generated product images in its shopping app based on user search queries, aiming to help customers who don't know the right terminology to describe what they're looking for. When a user types a search, AI-generated images appear below autocomplete suggestions as visual style guides. Critics note this is potentially misleading since shoppers may expect to find the exact depicted product, and question why a retailer with real product photos would show fake ones. The feature is part of Amazon's broader push to integrate AI into its retail experience, alongside AI review summaries, audio product summaries, shoppable collages, Amazon Lens Live, and the recent replacement of Rufus with Alexa for Shopping.
