Yeah… I work for an e-commerce website and ever since chatgpt came to the world we have been making product descriptions and write ups assisted by the tool.

The reason from the product manager: SEO

People search for stuff to buy… and they have to find it usually via Google. My experience, buyers care more about the price and the possibility of an old product they love to still be available.

Descriptions? Well, they’re there.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
