I have been using Amazon as a shopping search engine for a while now, don't actually buy it though. This is a new and extremely valuable search feature. Clearly I want a foot on a chair. Good job ai, good job

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Have you opened Uber Eats lately?
All the restaurant descriptions and dish descriptions are AI generated.
It’s insane. And probably fraud.
Since US companies don’t really know about Cabadian chains, you’ll have something about how Mary Brown or Swiss Chalet are local staples.
It just straight up lies about what’s in Thai food.
It’s trash.
(I mean, on top of the fact that you sold avoid it at all costs, both for being US owned, VC funded, and destroying local jobs and turning them into precarious “gigs” where you have to grovel at a supportless mega corporation that’ll deplatforn you for anything less than 5/5 stars for your livelihood)
It's all the food delivery services, not just UberEats. So frustrating. I don't care what that dish "typically" includes. Tell me about that restaurant's version.
This is especially problematic when you have dietary restrictions. The best part is when the site doesn't allow you to customize your meal. I don't get to know what's actually in it, and I can't preemptively ask for certain ingredients to be omitted? So I guess you don't actually want my money.
