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…

This feels like something of a non story to me. Using AI for product descriptions seems like an obvious and reasonable use case; and data entry errors are not uncommon nor terribly harmful in the context.

I think it's a sign of what's to come. A world where many things are done so shoddily and with such little regard that it becomes nearly impossible to navigate. You sift through a pile of crap trying to get basic shopping done, descriptions that are wrong and nonsensical, fictional product photos that are useless to judge scale or fitness for purpose, etc. When you finally find what you need, you end up receiving the wrong item because no one in the supply chain gave a shit. You try to get this resolved, and are bounced around a series of half-broken customer service bots. It's difficult and expensive to find alternatives who do give a shit, because the automated companies have driven prices (and quality) into the ground, and it ends up being cheaper and easier to let it go and try your luck again.

I don't know if that will come to pass or not, I sure hope not, but I think it's a real possibility and that things like this are the early warnings.

When do we as a society get to the point where we feel requiring Amazon to have products be human-reviewed before posting is a burden that the $1.602T company can probably shoulder?

When I decide I need AI to read through their AI.

Amazon, in general, is not the place to shop for "brands renowned throughout the world." Most of those folks stay off amazon, and If you're lucky enough to find such a brand on Amazon the chances that you receive a counterfeit version are pretty great. Although if I had an endless bag of money to burn it'd be fun to buy an Amazon Rolex [0] just to see how it's handled. [0]: https://www.amazon.com/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetu…

It actually is... ? For every brand, I search amazon first. They usually have it cheaper, with fast delivery and reliable return policy. Better than most brand webshops. If brand/quality wouldn't matter I would go to Ali.

If brand/quality matters, I'd rather order from Ali than Amazon, because if I'm going to get a counterfeit anyway then I might as well pay less for it.

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.

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...
