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

I do not get it, how much effort would a product description possibly be to instead use ai? This is not a one off, even before these llm ai systems a lot of instruction manuals in cheap crap you buy were written by machines, very badly.

They are presumably paying people to be executives and board members and managers, but they can't be bothered to pay someone a few hours to write a product description accurately? We have all the wrong people in charge in this country. Because they can not even write an accurate product description they chose to.

Probably 15-30 minutes vs a couple seconds. (I know, it would bankrupt anyone)
