> The worst thing for me is how the Amazon search algorithm seems to want to show you everything but the item you searched for. Hey boss I made the site better! Through rigorous A/B testing I could figure out a way to tweak our search algorithm so people spend much more time on our site! It seems they now really enjoy browsing for products! Ok but seriously, I have witnessed A/B testing go wrong in the past so I'm bi…

> rigorous A/B testing Also known as unethical, non-consensual human experimentation for profit maximization purposes.

We do non-consensual human experimentation all the time. Whenever you try a new outfit you're doing it.

It's an extremely broad category that contains good things (installing cycle lanes to see if they encourage cycling), neutral things (making both flower mugs and wave mugs and seeing which sells) and bad things (use your imagination).

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.

Using weasel words doesn’t make your claim any more correct.

The mole was whacked, but only slightly. The seller's account and remaining scammy inventory is still up. The offense here was clearly the embarassment to Amazon from a couple of examples of blatant incompetence, not the scam itself. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=FOPEAS

At some point today an Amazon employee read this thread as silently voiced "god damnit, I'll have to do something about this"

There's 10^x more of where that's coming from... Welcome to The Matrix

My favorite so far, the entire product description is chef's kiss : https://www.amazon.com/haillusty-Apologize-fulfill-violates-...

Already gone. What did it say?

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…

> I wonder what they're prompting ChatGPT with "Please generate a title to be used to sell a lovely, large chest with a slender frame and three willing receptacles."

Does it actually complain about generating explicit content? It certainly seems willing enough to describe brutal murders as long as it thinks it’s writing a story.

It still baffles me that people get more upset over sex than death.

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…

That sounds like a clear GDPR violation, but I guess you are not in the EU?

Agree and correct, unfortunately.

Right, it seems like having another model (or just simply doing it with chatgpt itself) do adversarial classification is the right model here.

Yea, I'd expect some lower powered model would be able handle and catch the OpenAI apologies messages at a much lower cost too.

That's merely a first order reaction... The resulting race will leave humans far behind :/

AI gone wrong or marketing stunt? 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).

It looks good but its probably pigiron with cheap paint that will flake off and particle board. I’m done buying cheap stuff. By the time ten years have gone by you’ve spent more on cheap stuff replacing the broken cheap stuff than the buy it for life option would have ever cost.

I don’t think that’s quite true. I’ve spent less on two entire suites of IKEA furniture that I used for roughly 15 years (as student and young professional) than I spent on the single table that now stands in our living room.
