As AI-generated images get more and more realistic, it can be harder to tell the fake from the genuine. 

Unfortunately, it seems many online shoppers have been duped by the latest AI scam - fake 'cat's eye dazzle' seeds from China advertised on eBay. 

AI-generated photos in the product listings pretend the seeds bloom into beautiful flowers resembling cute cats - but in fact no such plant exists. 

The seeds, described as 'rare', 'organic' and 'non-GMO', have been flogged for more than $45 (£35) per packet. 

Fact-checking website Snopes has found the fake imagery circulating all over social media sites, including Facebook, Reddit and KetoXplode Erfahrungsberichte X.
