And pay no attention to the fact that the seller is registered in China and sells everything from furniture to underwear, UV lamps, and I kid you not, "effective butt lifting massage cream".

So? That's where stuff gets made. These companies exist because they can acquire cheap goods from factories that also make everything else sold on Amazon and Walmart as "legitimate" brands. They literally just do not know how to speak English, so an LLM is a game changer for them.

The difference between legitimate brands and whatever these are is reputation, quality control and some level of accountability - these "brands" have none of it. Any legitimate business would come up with a proper brand name and put some effort into it, rather than cycling through brand names faster than I buy new t-shirts.

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.

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.

Sometimes curation just means higher prices. My local Best Buy curates electronics, but none of them are cheaper than the hundreds of additional brands you can find on Amazon.

You can’t get a $50 WiFi 6 access point at Best Buy, but you can find that on Amazon.

I think what you are describing is Walmart or Target but with filters applied to turn off third party sellers.

As an aside, what’s interesting about Amazon is that once you unsubscribe from Prime, it’s not incredibly competitive with AliExpress for the right types of products. Usually if you can wait a week, you can wait two and save more money.

It's not about the price, it's about getting a more trustworthy device.

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?

Only if your employee is prone to episodes where they call all your customers speaking in tongues.

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.

Relationships of trust between users and the LLMs they choose to use definitely exist.

well no one has 5 years of experience as an LLM prompter, so the trust will be low in the short term. With current lawsuits, trust in the LLM is probably low for at least a year or two, with companies trusting employees to NOT use them for their work.

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?

Even when you tell it to stop apologising, the first thing it does is apologise. Our jobs are totally safe.

Is this a dramatic fuckup? Because it quite possibly successfully created tens of thousands of listings more or less successfully. This one will probably generate no sales, but were there any consequences for this mistake?

If you're curated, you're not everything. If you want everything, well, expect everything.

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

Counting it up, I've ordered 58 times from Amazon in 2023 and every single item was exactly what I asked for, and arrived within a few days. I wonder why we're having such wildly different experiences...

It depends on the kinds of things you order and how attuned you are to the games they play. If it's all name brand stuff and you are careful to actually order from Amazon and not a store hosted by Amazon it's not bad (although there are a lot of counterfeit goods on the site, in mixed inventory so it can come directly from Amazon even if it was stocked by some other store).

If you're getting commodity stuff from the cheapest vendor, good luck. There's lots of stuff put in there by Chinese shops that's garbage quality, mislabeled, a miniature model of the real thing, etc.
