They "cannot guarantee" the product description of the 1.3k dollar laptop theyre selling is accurate because they used chatgpt to write it (i.redd.it)

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

Amazon’s “Starfish” project is scraping the net for small businesses and posting their products on Amazon, with AI generated information.

Imagine getting a sale from a storefront you didn’t consent to being listed on, with an inaccurate description of your product.

Didn't Uber eats do this same thing with small restaurants?

Door dash does it if the restaurant doesn't give enough information. They will even use AI generated photos. I'm very confused as to how it is legal. I'm guessing it is not, but there's nobody in charge anymore.
