They "cannot guarantee" the product description of the 1.3k dollar laptop theyre selling is accurate because they used chatgpt to write it (i.redd.it)

This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

I recently tried asking Amazon's AI a simple question about a product that had hundreds of reviews. It was a cheap thing, and I admit I was too lazy to verify the info so I went with what the AI said and bought it, and guess what the AI was just completely wrong and now Amazon is paying for me to ship it back.

I mean if you're buying on Taobao or Aliexpress, at least you're only buying from 1 conglomerate. If you buy on Amazon, you're almost certainly buying from Aliexpress, except you get to pay a middleman too.

And so is the climate.

But it's on Amazon to expect you to rely on the information their AI gives. I plan my programs how people act not how I want them to act

I'm definitely more eBay luckily only time I deal with AI is if I'm writing a description for a new in box toy
