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.

Sad part, they already had a legitimate usecase for AI. They could just let you describe a product in your own words and let AI find the best fits within their store. But no. They had to go for that.
IMO, the best case is policing the store.
It’s unorganized, and many listings are junky. They need crawlers (double checked by staff) tagging, categorizing, checking specifications, checking duplicate listings, checking for scams and such.
That’s what oldschool ML is already good at.
