So 'A.I' (so-called artificial intelligence) has found its way into ebay listings - but it's rubbish! It tells you nothing about the condition of an item, or its function - it just puts together a load of waffle based on the item specifics. Nothing 'intellegent' about it at all - just a quick fix for lazy sellers!
thanks for mentioning dyslexia in this topic. sorry tho, i still need a real description. even if i find reading it difficult! also, if you have trouble reading generated description then how do you know it says the truth about your items?
I agree. AI is disastrous for ebay. I can't bear to read those ridiculous descriptions. Insulting to people's intelligence. As a 25 year subscriber I'll be 'bidding' ebay farewell. End of an era
Yes I agree wholeheartedly, AI gives you all the information that we as potential buyers already know dressed up in a moronic sickly sweet coating. I'll repeat that it may have a place for brand new items but it never should be used for used items as it gives no information about the actual item on sale potentially misleading buyers. Sadly the reality is that there are no other platforms that give the volume of potential buyers or sellers a shop window. There are plenty of sites doing similar but simply no real competition for eBay although the Chinese direct selling sites must be doing them harm. It is a very sad judgement upon eBay's customers that they think of us as so unintelligent as to need this crude tool. I think that the world must come to terms with various AI tools to assist us in whatever we do but in a far more intelligent form than this one. Finally it's my opinion that eBay has been taken over by 20 somethings bright sparks trying to make their names in global marketing. Rant over but of course I'm 76 so know nothing!!
