“Handedness is not an issue with this right-handed guitar”

Probably is if you’re left handed

"The 6-string configuration makes for a comfortable fit ..."

 

There is no way I'd deal with this idiot.

tbh I get frustrated with these AI descriptions - they all sound like a poor second-hand car salesman's pitch!

Either write a description yourself or nick somebody else's description of something similar and change the wording slightly. Auto-generated descriptions are not only dreadful but also show you can't even be arsed to do a copy and paste.

Not too mention, despite all the waffle tell you absolutely nothing about the thing you're buying. 

 

I haven't sold anything on eBay for over a decade. Is the AI thing now a built in feature, or are people just using external tools like ChatGPT?

It’s a built in feature and prompts people to select AI as an option when adding a description. My big concern with things like ChatGPT is that it scrapes the internet (vastly simplified i know) to create the text. What happens when the data it scrapes is all AI generated waffle?

Are we going to be left with a population speaking AI. One huge pool of word soup that circles around a concept but never gets to the essence of anything. 

 

Entire populations speaking fluent marketing and politics. Man that is depressing.

I believe that's exactly what will happen. 

 

I believe the internet rather than being improved my AI, will become pointless and unusable the more AI grows it's roots. We're already starting to see this with saturation of AI content in YouTube making it harder and harder to find good content.

A conspiracy of blandness.

In the gain of a recurring bursitis for the return of it and it was also missing the top of your mind as well as it would be a good morning to the other person who knows what they are doing with their zingy tone.

I think Lewis Carroll predicted AI:

 

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

      And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

      The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

      The frumious Bandersnatch!”

 

He took his vorpal sword in hand;

      Long time the manxome foe he sought—

So rested he by the Tumtum tree

      And stood awhile in thought.

 

And, as in uffish thought he stood,

      The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

      And burbled as it came!

 

One, two! One, two! And through and through

      The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

      He went galumphing back.

 

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

      Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”

      He chortled in his joy.

 

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

      And the mome raths outgrabe.
