This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

Eh, nothing new. For the past few years I’ve had to shop though manufacturer spec pages anyway.

Retailers know most shoppers aren’t careful, though.

Instruction manuals for all sorts of cheap chinese made crap are written by machines, there are all sorts of errors and weird wordings in it too. It's been like that for at least ten years, before so called ai was released to the public.
