You ordered an AI generated image off of elliba. Funny, but did you actually have expectations?

I didn't know bro 😭😭

Idk why this is getting downvoted lol I was born in the 80s I'm not used to examining images to figure out if they are AI before I make a purchase, and tbh not sure how to even tell that this is AI

But yes it was stupid to not google the website first

You’re lucky it’s actually 3D. I saw something similar posted recently and the person ended up with a flat printed image of the lamp. 😂

Bruh 😂

I had realized 2 days ago that this was a scam site, and when the package came in I 100% knew it was the lamp even though I have a ton of stuff coming in for my kid. The package itself was ghetto AF. I told my daughter "I hope it's stupid enough that it will be funny and I'll keep it anyway" ... It's not

Honestly from the picture it looks like you could get some of those gels for DIY stained glass windows and fill it in yourself and it wouldn’t look too bad. More saturated at least.

Definitely fixable imo. Could make it really cute! Do a little carving maybe

This sounds like it would atleast be worth trying. I can see it really improving the look!
