wrong AI descriptions

[kwayde]

Just saw an item for sale on that big auction site that has one of those lame AI descriptions that's wrong in a bad way.

It's a receiver that's listed which has an output of 40 watts per channel. The item has a tag on the rear panel that shows it consumes 130 watts.

The AI description says it boasts a power output of 130W.

AI description: (item listed), manufactured in Japan, boasts a power output of 130W and falls under the category of vintage audio and video equipment. With Sansui being a well-respected brand in the realm of consumer electronics, this model is likely to deliver high-quality sound performance. The receiver's excellent condition, as indicated in the title, suggests that it has been well-maintained and is a desirable piece for collectors or audio enthusiasts seeking a vintage stereo receiver with powerful capabilities.

I don't see this AI getting better before it gets worse. This auction site uses AI to verify listings for accuracy but fails.

Much of AI results in nonsense like this. I see it all the time on eBay. As long as there are humans, who don't necessarily know what they are doing, are managing it, there will be just as many errors as with anything else.

People that use AI need to be held accountable for its content. Othwise, society will crumble (seriously).

Dang kids and their AI.

It's a lot more A than it is I.

Any time you see a description on eBay with sentences beginning with, "With it's...", Beware!

Don't get me started on that carp... It's bad with pretty much any item being sold over there. Seems especially bad with photography equipment.

Here's one example I came across today:
"Elevate your audio experience with the Monitor Bronze BR1 bookshelf speakers, a testament to high-end audio engineering. These speakers offer a wired connectivity option, ensuring a stable and lossless signal transfer for your audio setups. The oak finish lends a touch of classic elegance to your space while the robust 100W RMS power output promises crisp, dynamic sound.Crafted with an 8 ohms impedance, these speakers are designed to work seamlessly with a variety of audio systems. The pair's distinguished features include a model number of monitor bronze BR1, signifying their quality and distinction within the realm of bookshelf speakers.

Not exactly wrong - just totally useless. Wired connectivity "option"? What, like there's some other way to connect these speakers?

Dang kids and their AI.

And there 8 track stereo's!! I still say we need that little old man waving his cane emoji added.

It's a receiver that's listed which has an output of 40 watts per channel. The item has a tag on the rear panel that shows it consumes 130 watts.

If the power amps are your run o' the mill class AB type, I'd say there might well be more nonsense there than even AI can achieve.

Another thing I see is sellers saying 100 or 120 Watts! When it’s actually 50 or 60 WPC. So lame. Another is about testing equipment. If a seller says no further testing, unable to test or something along those lines I always look at the other items they have for sale. If they have a lot of electronics listed I assume they have tested it and it’s probably junk. Or the old removing the connectors from the amp and preamp then say no sound. It’s a crapshoot unless you know the seller. Makes the honest sellers look bad. I know this thread was about AI but I had to vent. My apologies

I didn't realize this was a thing, but after seeing this thread yesterday, I came across an eBay listing that must be AI.

It was for a Video8 player, and the description was mainly for a camcorder, which the item was not and one was not included.

Who knew.
