"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.

No, I just asked them to place a full glass of wine in front of the object I wanted to buy. As AI couldn't do that, I could at least be sure they'd actually have the product.
If you'd ask me that, I would tell you I wouldn't do that. That's an awful lot of trouble to go to, I don't just have open bottles of wine any time of the day. And once you pour it, you'd have to drink it, which I don't normally do during the day or even on weekdays. Especially filling it to the brim, so I can spill it or what? That's asking a lot of a random person on the internet to do just to sell something old.
Haha, noo, I ask for water, not wine. And yes, people actually do that and it did reveal a scammer once. And I usually only do it with more expensive items.
I just ask the person for a voice phone call to get a sense that they understand the item that they're selling. I haven't gotten caught in any scams, though maybe some items I've noped out on have been legit (no way to tell).
I don't think I've ever sold anything online, but if I tried and was asked for a voice call, I'd just say no.
edit: a single letter. I leave it to you to guess which.
I've only done it for larger items if that helps. Like $300+.
isn't that more likely to be ai if they do it? who would even agree to a request like that?
Why would you want to see a full glass of wine in front of another full glass of wine? Is it ful glasses of wine all the way down?
... what?
AIs usually cannot show full glasses of wine because they only had half empty glasses from stock photos. It seems that it has been fixed.
Pretty weird requirement from OP though.
That was pretty easy to follow. What didn't you grasp?
How does which kind of image an AI can or can not generate translate to an availability of a product?
EDIT: Oh, now I get it.
