Indianapolis, IN, October 21, 2026 —

A recent survey indicates that a significant portion of Americans distrust artificial intelligence used in advertising and shopping. Many respondents also said they feel deceived by AI-generated images in advertisements, even as people continue to use AI-powered advertising and shopping services.

The finding points to a tension between consumer sentiment and ongoing use: distrust and concerns about images can coexist with continued engagement. The survey summary does not specify how many people were polled, what share expressed distrust, or how “significant portion” was defined.

Further details about the survey were not provided, including its sponsor, field dates, methodology, and the questions respondents were asked. The summary also does not identify which advertising or shopping services were included, or explain what respondents meant by feeling deceived by AI-generated images.

As a result, the available information describes a broad reported attitude but does not establish how widely the views are held or what drives them. It also does not indicate whether respondents’ views differ by age, location, or other characteristics.

The survey summary says that use of AI in advertising and shopping is ongoing, but it provides no figures on usage or information about how use was measured. Without those details, the scale of the gap between reported distrust and continued use cannot be quantified.

The findings offer a snapshot of public sentiment as described in the summary. More information about the survey and its results would be needed to assess the size of the trend and the specific concerns behind respondents’ reactions to AI-generated advertising images.
