Why is it fraud? Maybe it's a legitimate item.
A legitimate item from the totally legit company "FOPEAS" that's being sold for $100 less at vidaxl.com and is still probably made from formaldehyde-soaked wood and covered in lead paint.
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.

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.
When things show up and actually are what I expect based off of the image and they work right it is a rare surprise.

Why not have a separate chat request to apology-check the responses? Not my original idea, there was a link from HN where the dev did just that.
Sounds like a great way to double your API bills, and maybe that's worth it, but it seems pretty heavy-handed to me (and equally not 100% watertight).
Probably the former.
But the thing doesn't look half bad one the pictures. Looks like something you might get from IKEA under one of their "slightly better quality" lines (which at least in the EU are pretty good choice if you don't want to spend too much on furniture but also feel that the main line lines from IKEA are a bit to cheap in quality).

Yeah we must. Nothing I but from Amazon is what I expect and top that off with it arrives late despite me paying for prime. I ordered a blender last week that doesn’t even blend, which I only realized after I had loaded it up with stuff to make a smoothie.

Easy fix since ChatGPT always apologises for not complying: any description or title containing the word "sorry" gets flagged for human oversight. Still orders of magnitude faster than writing all your own spam texts.
