Oh nice, even more misleading product pages

That's a very good point. Product pages should be accurate and representative about the exact product being sold. If sellers don't carefully review and edit what the generative AI produces, that could make for some very unhappy buyers.

Just what we need, more generic verbose product descriptions that I'd normally never even read...

AI is the epitome of quantity over quality, and Amazon already has a problem with the latter.

Hmmm, I'm not convinced. High-end AI is better than the average human at writing. Add long as some human acts as a discriminator.

Being more verbose and sounding like soulless corpo speak doesn't make you better than a human. Maybe syntactically, but spell check has been effective for decades

This will end well.

Again one of these things that web extensions could do so much with, make work so well. And where especially on mobile that would just be so capital.

But of course Chrome refuses to allow extensions. There's some excuses that are over a decade old now, about it having a risk of increasing battery drain or taking up cpu. To me, these justifications seem woefully out of date; phones are so much better than they were a decade ago. We can empower users. We should empower users. We should make it the user's agent.

Well it’s already basically the entirety of recent comments in reviews, so why not the whole shebang?

In conclusion/summary is a dead giveaway.

Amazon knows the only way to detect AI generated content is to have generated it themselves.
