Viral Post: A customer uses AI to “apply more cracks” on eggs and receives a complete refund from Instamart; a viral post infuriates the internet
Viral Post: Businesses are being severely impacted by a concerning new trend that is sweeping social media. These days, people use artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to fabricate photographs of broken goods in order to get complete refunds. The photos are so genuine that some platforms are really falling for them. Kapilansh provided a recent case on X, detailing how a client allegedly used artificial intelligence (AI) to alter photos in order to deceive Swiggy Instamart. There was just one broken egg on the tray of eggs that was part of the order. The client utilized Gemini Nano to make it seem as if almost the whole tray was shattered, rather than displaying the actual shot.
The user entered “apply more cracks” into the AI tool, and in a matter of seconds, a single cracked egg turned into a tray full of broken eggs that were perfect and almost difficult to distinguish from reality, as Kapilansh said in the article. The article claims that after seeing the altered “proof,” customer service gave a complete refund and moved on. This circumstance highlights a serious weakness, the article continued: “Our refund mechanisms were designed for a world where images were reliable. However, they are now facing AI on par with that of 2025, and they are being completely decimated. The economics of quick-commerce units will collapse if even 1% of people begin doing this.
“AI isn’t the villain here,” the post ended. Verification mechanisms that are trapped in the past are the true issue. Greetings from the AI vs. AI era.

On X and other platforms, the post has now gone viral. This kind of behavior has drawn criticism from many users, who describe it as destructive and dishonest and a warning that businesses would require more intelligent verification techniques to prevent such AI-driven frauds. “What else can you expect from a low-trust society?” a user said. It makes sense why everyone despises us, even ourselves. There is a reason why Chutiya people and Chutiya land exist.
“AI-generated images have a digital signature—I’m not referring to a logo—that can be traced and recognized. I predict that Gemini will eventually have an enterprise API to detect and filter out photos created by artificial intelligence. A second user said, “I’m not sure whether various tech firms will share the technology needed to read this signature with each other.
SynthID is used by Google-generated AI photos, which you may submit to Gemini to verify whether they are AI-generated or not. A third user remarked, “It will be necessary for all e-commerce and q-commerce platforms to integrate it sooner.” “We must develop a product for picture detection in order for authorities to verify whether the picture was created by AI or not. A fourth user asked, “How is the idea?”
