"Costco customer service was unable to confirm if they sell these specific tins of Danish cookies or who created the artwork. The cookies are made by a company called Kelsen based in Melville, New York, but their phone number is disconnected. This leaves no official way to determine whether the cookie tin artwork is handmade or created by AI. All that remains is the analysis from various Redditors, whose observations highlight some suspect issues."
"Known for years as the place where Grandma keeps her sewing supplies, these tins originally contain cookies and have become a holiday staple. But some eagle-eyed shoppers have taken issue with the tins they say are being sold at Costco this season. The artwork looks suspicious to some, and accusations that it was created by AI have been circulating on Reddit."
Shoppers have raised allegations that artwork on Danish cookie tins sold at retailers may have been generated by AI because of strange, malformed details. Costco customer service could not confirm whether the specific tins are sold or who created the artwork. The cookies are produced by Kelsen in Melville, New York, but the company phone number appears disconnected. Redditors analyzed the tins and pointed to oddities such as windmills without blades, figures lacking hands, and amorphous children. A prior example included a Walmart tin with a cluttered scene and an oddly rendered Santa with irregular windows and a white-stump arm.
