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

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.

Getting an actual photo of the product was already rare as fuck before AI generated bullshit and is one of many reasons I haven't used Amazon unless absolutely necessary for several years already. Like, it hasn't been really all that different in quality or matching the product description to what you actually are buying from Wish or Temu for a long time, other than being more expensive for the same garbage and shipping it faster.
Temu’s app is… something, though. It feels like a casino.
Same with AliExpress, to a lesser extent.
Amazon will copy the temu gamefication, because temu has already overtaken Amazon as biggest store in some European countries. Shittification will continue until revenue improves!
I can’t take that. Especially if they force you to the app like Temu.
…I guess I’ll get an agent and scraper to shop, then? What a ridiculous waste.
Or you could just not shop there anymore, and take your money to smaller, independent stores and shops.
