Would ChatGPT really output a malformed sentence like that? From what I've seen the impressive part is it makes correct English sentences (whether they make sense or are true or not is another matter). This looks like something a human with regular/bad English would write.

Sometimes it "apologizes" rather than saying "sorry", you could build a fairly solid heuristic but I'm not sure you can catch every possible phrasing. OpenAI could presumably add a "did the safety net kick in?" boolean to API responses, and, also presumably, they don't want to do that because it would make it easier to systematically bypass.

Just feed the text to a new ChatGPT conversation and ask it whether the text is an apology or a product description. Or do traditional NLP, but letting ChatGPT classify your text is less effort to set up

What happens when ChatGPT apologizes instead of answering your question about whether the text is an apology or a product description?

Using Amazon for shopping is terrible, borderline unusable in 2024. They're hard to compete with because they're giant and have an amazing logistics network, but it also seems like there's a big vacuum in the market for an "everything store" that's actually good.

They're fine at selling stuff, they're absolutely horrendous at being a place to search for a product if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. The solution is just to look for third-party specialist review sites who know what they're talking about.

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.

100% why is that perspective so rare?

Because when an employee uses an LLM for their job they take responsibility / validate as they risk getting fired.

However, when an organization uses an LLM they generally setup a system without anyone validating the output. That’s an attempt to delegate responsibility to an incompetent system and thus inherently flawed.

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.

>> unattended LLM do anything for your company at all. It can, and will, fuck up dramatically sooner or later. So, just like any other random employee?

That's a testable assertion isn't it? Do you observe any product with that extreme level of silliness, which weren't intentional?

People generally review their product catalogues.

Ah, FOPEAS, that distinguished brand of kitchen counter drawers renowned throughout the world.

I wonder how many short trademarks are left now that Amazon has incentivized generating new ones as quickly as feasible.

Retail is so low-margin that it will never be very good.

Amazon, Walmart, Ebay, are all very imperfect businesses. Even Costco is rough to deal with for the suppliers - there’s just no way to do this at scale while being all nice and fuzzy

Amazon is especially bad though

I'd really like a more 'curated' or vetted everything store. I don't need to see 40 of the same exact item rebranded into various English horrors.

Walmart seems most primed to do this, barring third party sales. Or Sears, if they ever had a miraculous turnaround to their old days.

As someone who uses Amazon regularly, we live in different worlds. My experience is pleasant and straightforward; I get what I want and it arrives quickly.
