The two statements have been accused of both having the overuse of &#8220;meaningless AI-loved words of \u201cquiet\u201d, \u201cslow\u201d, \u201clove\u201d, \u201csoft\u201d, etc., etc.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst As Ever sells &#8220;sweet things made slowly, meant to be shared often&#8221; in &#8220;keepsake boxes&#8221;, Lili Olives &#8211; which was founded by Danya Ghutta sells &#8220;heirloom&#8221; dresses &#8220;inspired by European summers\u2026 Made in limited quantities, for the girls who twirl&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Paula Froelich: Uncensored wrote: &#8220;Both statements were so similar in tone, content, and (most importantly) in triggering my gag reflex, I decided to run them by their original author, Google\u2019s Gemini\/Claude AI.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As shared on the substack, Gemini &#8211; which is an AI tool &#8211; concluded: &#8220;The (As Ever) text is almost an exact clone of the &#8220;Lil Olives&#8221; copy you just looked at, simply swapped with a royal branding theme.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An AI generator has taken the exact same structural skeleton and &#8220;mad-libbed&#8221; it for a lifestyle brand\u2026 It follows a rigid narrative formula, simply swapping the nouns to fit the specific prompt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Products sold by Lil Olives include crown references for accessories, a dress with &#8216;Duchess&#8217; in the name and one dress named &#8216;Camellia&#8217;, which bares resemblance to Queen Camilla.<\/p>\n<p>This comes after Meghan recently faced AI accusations after her Geneva speech focused on technology and child safety.<\/p>\n<p>Meghan stepped out in Switzerland last month to send a warning about online harm.
