A Reddit user accused a TikTok seller of using AI to make pet memorial portraits and varnishing the prints to resemble paintings. The post drew backlash, with one commenter speculating the seller was taking advantage of grieving owners.
The original poster said the Reddit thread included evidence of AI use, pointing to the seller’s “I pick the style” wording and a screenshot in which the seller said they “painted with enhanced tools.” The article does not independently verify how the portraits were made.
Some commenters questioned how closely the portraits matched the original pet photos. The article advises people commissioning custom art to ask what medium is being used and request process photos, sketches or work-in-progress videos.
