Just checked now, it's real. And they blend in some perfectly it's almost indistinguishable from organic result. This is going to make people like me who use image search a lot lose trust with Google search. From the business POV, it's a clever idea.

It's fine to place ads between search results. The problem is mixing products that don't match the search query & user intent. The ads are also blending nicely with the products, so it's difficult to distinguish them.
