  • Sellers on Facebook Marketplace are increasingly using AI-generated images of attractive girls in their ads to make their products, like used cars and equipment, stand out.
  • Rogelio Llamas from Southern California added an AI-generated model to his Jeep Wrangler ad in an attempt to attract more attention and stand out.
  • This modern take on the “sex sells” strategy has gone viral on other platforms like Reddit and Twitter, often featuring unrealistic and poorly executed AI images.
  • Despite attracting significant views and interaction, these AI-enhanced ads do not seem to generate serious interest or sales, as evidenced by Llamas’ Jeep Wrangler experience.
  • The use of high-quality, artificial images may deter potential buyers, who often look for “live” and amateur photos, suspecting professional or scammer ads when ads appear overly polished.
