     @arstechnica Oh great fun! And not just on Amazon I notice. Many webshops are already doing their product descriptions with AI it seems… AND not even looking at the results. #sigh 🥴

     @arstechnica Use of AI is lazy use by definition.

     They have used auto-translation for years too, with hillarious results. It is obvious that no human is validating the output on non-US/EN Amazon sites.
