In a world where artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, even fashion retail isn’t exempt from the AI wave. But as Myntra recently found out, sometimes AI can be a little too creative.
A LinkedIn user shared a screenshot that quickly went viral, showing a Myntra product listing where the model appeared to have three arms. Yes, you read that right—an extra limb, courtesy of AI-generated imagery, made its way into a live e-commerce listing.
The post was captioned with-: ‘In the age of AI, it’s not enough to have only two hands. You have to upgrade yourself to beat the competition.’”
The humor didn’t stop there. The user continued,
“Anyway, today’s independent girl needs an extra hand to carry a handbag.”
While the mishap was hilarious, it highlighted a more serious point about the growing use of AI-generated content in retail. The user pointed out that using AI images can cut costs for businesses, but quality control and human oversight are still crucial.
“E-commerce websites now need extra checks—just a white background for product pictures is not enough.”
Netizens Reaction -:
The image triggered a wave of laughter in the comments section across social media platforms. Users joined the fun with snarky comments and sarcastic with saying that “Now we know why AI won’t take our jobs in real.”
“Everyone is worried AI will replace human jobs, but from what I see, it is actually creating new ones and still needs human intervention to guide and correct it!”
This incident serves as a lighthearted but important reminder: AI is powerful, but not foolproof. When it comes to customer-facing visuals, especially in industries like fashion where perception is everything, brands must pair AI tools with vigilant human review.
As AI becomes more embedded in content creation and automation processes, companies must strike a balance between innovation and oversight. After all, a third arm on a model may grab attention—but probably not the kind you want.
