That's crazy lol, how do the people who make these not think about what they're putting in?

Probably no real human in the loop. This is a bot scrapping Chinese retailers and automatically creating several Amazon "sellers", with descriptions generated from whatever photos the retailer page had. The products are likely shipped either from China or bought in bulk and kept in a subcontracted storage somewhere in USA. It doesn't matter is 90% of the "sellers" end being flagged and deleted, they can create thousands more and eventually someone will buy their crap.

This pollutes the marketplace to the point where I gave up trying to find any real product on it, but Amazon actually encourages this behavior. They automatically label and classify "products" in their store because the titles, descriptions and tags from Chinese resellers are abysmal and discoverability would be impossible otherwise.

I would hope that your experience has at least decreased the time between "first hearing about wierdness" and "realizing you accidnetally dropped prod". It's why pay generally increases with experience :D.

I get that this is basically fraud and spam, but this should really highlight the dangers of letting an unattended LLM do anything for your company at all. It can, and will, fuck up dramatically sooner or later.

No, not at all. People can be held accountable for the decisions they make. You can have a relationship of trust between people. LLMs do not have these properties.

Being a pro means you can fix anything you break - preferably before anyone noticies

This meme is getting old.

idk I do think it's worth pointing out sometimes that the ways these models mess up are very similar to the ways that humans mess up. It's funny you can almost always look at an obvious failure of an LLM and think of an equivalent way that a human might make the same (or a similar) mistake. It doesn't make the failure any less of a failure, but it is thought-provoking and worthwhile to point it out.

Obviously this particular case is not the failure of the LLM but the failure of the spammer who tried to use it.

I wonder what they're prompting ChatGPT with, and what policy it violates.

It’s “-brown” and the item appears black but is listed as brown. It’s possible that they are using GPT to translate from another language. I think I’ve read about listings for other pieces of furniture inadvertently offending people by using the Spanish word for “black” due to similar mixups.

People can't even be bothered to come up with a title for a product listing? We are truly screwed. Maybe they generated it from images and a script, but honestly, how freaking lazy are people these days?

It's probably a drop shipping operation, generating mass listings. Or it's from a foreign vendor, asking ChatGPT to provide a title in English. There's a lot of things wrong with this listing, but laziness isn't one of them.

Why is it that LLMs are so often compared to employees and their responsibilities? In my opinion, it is an employee that actively USES the LLM as a tool and this employee (or his/her employer) is responsible for the results.
