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.

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.

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

At least the seller offers this quality cat mirror/I'm sorry I cannot complete this task, which has Massive Storage Capacity. https://www.amazon.com/complete-information-provided-provide...

$898 and it boosts "Power Efficiency: Our SFD boasts incredible power efficiency, consuming minimal battery power to provide longer playback or recording than others."

Not sure if it's a mirror or cat related.

that's a nice quaint small town logic. we are talking about millions of lives across many industries. government is the family no matter how you personally emotionally identify it.

In a democracy you have to make a case for it. I don't want the government spending tax dollars so they can recommend which sneakers or USB power adapter I can buy. Curation of a marketplace is not an essential service by any stretch of the imagination.

sure you do.

you actually want your electronics to interoperate.

everyone wants to not have to think about things.

really, you disagree with society and it's really impossible to look at modern society and think this happens just by random good nature and not well to poorly coordinated hierarchy.

you already benefit from existing regulations but they're so painless that you've intrinsicalyy assumed they're naturally constructed.

you live in bizzaro world claiming you don't want unleaded gasoline or clean drinking water, seat belts, crumple zones and the rest.

I think it would be better to ask it to wrap the answer with some known marker like START_DESCRIPTION and END_DESCRIPTION. This way if it refuses you'll be able to tell right away. As another user pointed out, sometimes it doesn't refuse by using the word "sorry".

Correct However it's usually the laziest/more indifferent people that will use AI for product descriptions and won't care for such techniques

The ones that will get caught, you mean.

Just have a second AI validate the first and tell it that its job is spotting fake products.

And have a third AI watching the other two and have it pull the plug in case they start plotting a hostile takeover.

I wonder what they're prompting ChatGPT with, and what policy it violates. I asked the standard, free ChatGPT 3.5 > Please generate a product title to be used on an e-commerce site for a chest of drawers with three drawers, a metal frame, and a butcher block top and it responded with > "Modern Metal-Frame Chest of Drawers with Butcher Block Top - Three Drawers Storage Solution" which would be a fine title for this li…

It increasingly randomly refuses to do stuff depending what they've been training it not to do.

Aside: Llama2 on launch was so locked down it was refusing to "do creative work".

Godwin's Law.* If you're from a certain background it's exactly as described. In academia, frankly probably everywhere but tech, experiments as a term of art require consent when they involve humans. * n.b. you really should have left it out, it was a good post through "hyperbole", got close-minded in the next sentence, then just sort of blew the hatch doors off.

A bank sends out two different mailers to see which gets a higher response rate. A politician tests different versions of his stump speech to see which gets more applause. A standup comedian tries different variants of a joke to see which gets more laughs. A grocery store chain tests different store layouts to see which encourages more spending on expensive high margin items. A big box store tests different doorbuste…

I said the term of art thing to try to ward off a reply like this, I didn't want you to have to put in the effort.

Please stop. "Godwin's Law" is irrelevant bullshit. It's not a "law" and it doesn't prove anything, or do anything except add noise to the conversation.

Right? Parent is basically saying “wow it’s so unfortunate that you have forced me to end the conversation here, I’d have really liked to continue, but it’d be against the (entirely made up, by me) law”.

Where?

N.b. "godwin's Law" is the famous joke that as an Internet discussion approaches infinity length, hitler will be brought up

> Wal-Mart and Target are the 'curated' everything stores. Are you talking in-store or online? If I go to walmart.com or target.com and search for "usb cable", I don't see a dozen cables that fit 95% of use cases like in the store. Walmart shows thousands of results, the vast majority of which are marketplace sellers selling through walmart.com. Target has "only" 753 results, 600+ of which I find are not actually sol…

Annoying but at least Walmart still has the option to filter out third party sellers (under Filters, select Retailer and then Walmart). IIRC Amazon used to support this, but not anymore. I guess it wouldn't even do you much good with the commingling issue.

You can create a bookmarklet to only show items sold by Amazon: https://old.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/comments/13nyl2k/amazon...
