Overview
- An X user, @kapilansh, alleged a Swiggy Instamart customer used Google’s Gemini Nano to edit a single cracked egg into an image showing 20‑plus cracked eggs with the prompt “apply more cracks.”
- The edited photo was reportedly submitted as proof and a ₹245 refund was approved, though multiple outlets noted they could not independently verify the incident.
- Coverage frames the episode as a warning that trust‑based workflows relying on user photos are exposed to realistic, fast AI edits.
- Founders and commenters cautioned that repeated low‑value AI‑aided claims could erode already thin quick‑commerce margins for services like Instamart, Blinkit and Zepto.
- Suggested responses included AI provenance and detection checks such as SynthID and operational changes like open‑box or recorded deliveries, while Swiggy Instamart has not commented on the claim.
