Is this just AI slop?
Based on the girl model pictured on That Daily Deal, this might be the hat at Amazon. Note it only has 5 reviews, so I had to look at similar hats to get reviews of these hats.

Community Reviews
This solar fan hat is meant for hands free cooling and sun protection, with a ventilated wide brim and a battery option when the sun is not strong enough. The main appeal is the novelty of built in fans for hot weather, and it can even be worn backwards to push air toward the neck. The biggest problems are weak solar performance, loud fans, and a heavy design that can collapse the brim or pull hair. Fit and finish also draw complaints, including Mini USB charging, color mismatches, and a brim that arrives folded or flimsy.
Common Questions (5)
The solar panel is reported to be too weak for reliable use on its own, and the fan may only work well enough on battery power. In shade or without strong sun, it can be weak or stop after a very short run time.
It is ventilated rather than blowing straight out through the top. The fan setup is meant to move air through the hat, but several comments note the cooling is weak and can be noisy.
The brim can collapse or flip down because the fans are heavy, and a folded brim may weaken support further. That can make the hat look and sit differently from the product photos.
It can be risky for long hair because the fan mechanism reportedly caught and ripped hair out. That makes it a poor choice if your hair can get near the moving parts.
Wearing it backwards can direct airflow onto the neck, which may feel better than having the fans blow into your face. The front-mounted fans can make conversation harder, and the setup is reported to work only meh to okay on battery power.

1. It's jet BLACK - who in the hell makes a BLACK Hat to keep cool?!?!?!?
2. It's Mini-USB - it's not the standard USB-C for charging.
3. It said "One-Size-Fits-All" - Again, this is a false advertisement! It's too small!!! [at least the head opening]. All standard one-size fits most baseball caps fit me just fine, there is no way this can fit my head.
4. The hat brim was folded in half, causing a permanent weakness in the brim, and cannot adequately support the overweight fans - a good design would have hidden the battery in the center of the hat with lightweight fans on the edge, the fans are a lot heavier than another solar hat I had years ago.
This was my first purchase from these guys, and it will definitely be my last - they are on my banned list of vendors.
