      It’s not really stupidity. Just think about stuff that you may buy without having the expertise to really judge the quality or if it is even possible. You might think that people are stupid when they do not know every plant. But do you know every tool, every tech gadget, every type of clothing and so on?

      Honestly there’s so many weird flowers out there it can be hard to tell truth from fiction. Yeah these are AI generated, but look at all the other flowers that are real:

      • Lambs ear
      • Sea holly
      • Teddy Bear sunflowers are real even
      • Protea “Little Prince”
      • Hoya Multiflora

      Lots of very interesting flowers out there.

      When your mother starts buying this shit and spending big $$$ on stupid scams, you’ll want them stopped.

        If I go to someone and offer them a shoe box full of gold for 100$, no I wont open the box, and they agree, then I don’t think that is a scam and more that said person is too stupid to be in public.

        If that was the case and my mother’s mind is so degraded then it is absolutely dangerous and irresponsible for me to let her live alone.

          This is exactly the mindset of a scammer, ‘well, if they’re so stupid that they let me scam them then they deserve it’.
