A viral X post has sparked a debate on trust and AI tools.
We often talk about how AI will change the world, but sometimes those changes are... petty. A social media post has gone viral today after a user revealed how they (or someone they knew) used Artificial Intelligence to scam a refund from Swiggy Instamart.
The incident has sparked a massive debate online about ethics and the "jugaad" culture going too far.
The "Digital" Cracked Egg
The story is simple but concerning. A customer received a tray of eggs, and instead of finding any real damage, they allegedly used an AI image generator to create a hyper-realistic photo of broken eggs inside a tray. They uploaded this fake "proof" to the Swiggy app and reportedly secured an instant refund.
The post on X (formerly Twitter) garnered thousands of views, with netizens split between finding it funny and calling it fraud.
Why This Matters
This might seem like a small prank, but it highlights a growing problem for tech companies. As AI tools like Midjourney and Gemini 3 become accessible to everyone, verifying "proof" is becoming a nightmare. If customers can generate fake evidence in seconds, how will delivery apps maintain trust without punishing honest users?
It's a wake-up call that as our tech gets smarter, our systems for trust need to get smarter too.
