The funny auto generated texts on Amazon

I’ve come across several posts in threads discussing generated text on Amazon. Curious, I decided to try it out on the Swedish marketplace and, sure enough, found a couple of products with this text.

The text could be coming through Amazon’s publishing APIs for merchants or through Amazon’s own AI tools to enhance product listings, as announced in September. I don’t know for sure.

I hope all companies engaging in text generation like this will observe these examples and implement the necessary checks. It’s not a big thing to implement.

On one hand, it’s quite amusing to see these messages appear, so perhaps keeping them around a bit longer wouldn’t hurt. 🙂
