This article is obnoxious to actually read. Its funny that these lazy companies of cheap products are trying to use ai to write their copy for them, im assuming to save a buck, and those are fun examples, but where is the part where the reporting puts this in the larger context of why this is happening? Why are these trypes of companies making these choices? What does that say about our shopping habits and the stuff we choose to buy? Idk any actual meaningful/intresting question beyond look at this things that exists on the internet. If its in there I glossed over it because they leaned into their shtick too hard.

Even if you use ai to spit out word salad product descriptions, aren’t you going to at least manually review it to make sure it got the name right?
Hahahahaha
Oh wait, you’re serious. Let me laugh even harder.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Serious answer: we’re talking about drop-shipping “companies” whose entire business model is inserting themselves as middlemen while outsourcing every actual aspect of their “business.” Of course they’re going to aggressively avoid doing anything that takes actual work!
They’re literally just writing a script to query OpenAI and feed the results to Amazon, then waiting for the profits to flow in. They don’t give a fuck about quality or anything else.
