Original is gone, maybe this should replace the submission link.
The seller's account is unaffected, including the full remainder of their scammy inventory in all its AI-nglish glory. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=FOPEAS

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

Did you actually try that search? I typed in exactly what you said and got exactly those results. No uBlock Origin either.
Just the other day I dealt with this issue looking for usb 3.2 hubs, specifically powered hubs, which I kept in quotes that evidently were not respected. I was getting mostly usb 3.0 even some usb 2.0. A few usb 3.2 but not all like you’d think a quote should work for search. Also all over the place powered vs unpowered hub
Following that, in order, were the following:

Am I missing something or do all but one of those do exactly what you want?
I wonder if the comments saying Amazon is terrible for shopping is due to the same ppl browsing Amazon, rather than actually shopping for the one or two things they need? I've never had a problem finding what I want in my searches. I also don't browse...and I can see how that might result in Amazon showing a person browsing all kinds of things not realizing that THIS TIME they really do want that item.

It's barely even usable for buying Kindle books anymore. Half the time I get tricked into buying a book my Kindle doesn't support and I have to spend half an hour yelling at support to get my money back. Because they let you do the "buy and deliver to my kindle" thing even when your kindle is not supported. Then only when you grab your kindle to sync you learn the bad news.
Speaking of tricks.. a while back I turned off my “reading insights” in the Kindle app. Recently I’ve been re-reading Asimov and kindle reading insights popped up to congratulate me on my reading streak. Wouldn’t you know it — they’ve been tracking my reading this whole time, and I looked into it and there is no opt out short of closing my account (and subsequently losing access to my kindle library). Just absurd lev…

(1) Expand network of friends/family. (2) Buy only when you get a recommendation from friends/family. (3) profit? :) Asking the government to create regulations for product quality just means that the lobbyists who actually write those regulations are going to fuck you over yet again.
I would agree but [1] is likely one of the top 3 biggest exiatential issues facing mankind right now. We live in an age of increasingly weaker connections between people. So while in paper these 3 items look easy, they're likely not.
Some people have this notion of only buying best-in-class products or the latest stuff which they have to rigorously find by going through tons of reviews and looking at various articles and what not. I have (almost) no FOMO, and I don't mind not having the best, it frees up my time to do more important stuff like spend time with my children or watch a movie with my partner.

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).
