Khaberni - In the season of shows and shopping that precedes the New Year celebrations, a highly tempting advertisement appeared on YouTube and dozens of digital sites and platforms, promising you to get "the cutest robot puppy in the world". Amazing appearance, movements that are almost real, and a discount offer of up to 70%, which might prompt you to pull out your bank card immediately?
The advertisement, promoting a robot puppy named "Wuffy-Wuffy" with multiple sales sites and website replicas, claims it's "the number 1 robot puppy in America", and that it is "the future's pet" which learns and plays with children thanks to artificial intelligence, responds to touches, and runs with realistic movements, and even "handmade to bring joy to every family".
The website shows thousands of delightful reviews, and more than 8,000 satisfied customers, and ultra-realistic video clips showing the little puppy interacting with children… but the truth was completely different.
The big shock: the product does not exist at all
After investigating this "revolutionary robot", presented as one of the best innovations of 2025, it turned out to be a global deception that many fell for.
The images that seem to be taken from advanced laboratories and the clips showing smart robotic movement turned out to be merely content generated by artificial intelligence.
When "Wuffy" arrived at the buyers—if the package arrived at all—they found nothing but a cheap plastic toy that barks and moves primitively, the kind sold in simple toy stores, and has no relation to any technology, artificial intelligence, or even rechargeable batteries.
An American influencer exposes the trick
The American influencer Pleasant Green, who has more than 1.5 million followers, recounted his experience saying he bought two copies from the site after the advertisement claimed to have received the "best innovation award" and that the product was coming from the United States, but the surprise came during tracking the shipment, as it turned out that the parcel was shipped from China.
After a long wait, Green discovered the shocking truth: "a plastic toy covered in cheap nylon fur, battery-operated, and looks nothing like advertised".
When he confronted the seller, the shocking reply came: "It's just a difference of perspective".
The fraud expands: Images of real puppies generated by artificial intelligence
In addition to the "Wuffy" trick, investigations indicate that fraudsters are using images generated by artificial intelligence to create fake sales listings for puppies that do not actually exist, exploiting the spread of artificial intelligence culture and users' trust in "new technologies".
Behind the cute puppy described in advertisements as "the future of pets", there is nothing but a sophisticated digital trick relying on fake images, phantom reviews, and videos generated by artificial intelligence, aimed at trapping shoppers during the offer season.
"Wuffy" is not a smart robot… but just a cheap toy packaged with a dazzling advertisement and professional digital tricks.
