Gregory's ServerThis is funny, but also actually a really bad sign for general enshittification of the web. The most alarming detail here is that Amazon is actually promoting the use of LLMs to create fake ad copy.

I'd love to see the creation of platforms that require authenticity --- no synthetic media. The actual words + art of actual people only. >> Sometimes I get into arguments with people who say "But what about using grammar checkers/spell checkers"? We had both of those before LLMs were used to synthesize text, and they worked well enough, thank you.  @emilymbender it's really great that Amazon does not have the technological wherewithal to see such a pattern of submissions, and do a single thing about it. @rotopenguin Or alternatively: they aren't incentivized to do a single thing about it.  @emilymbender I'm pretty happy to let my Amazon Prime membership expire in a month. It's been getting worse and worse, and with the ads in videos, ongoing failure to screen bad actors in their marketplace, and now this... yeah, I'm done.  @emilymbender on the other hand it's quite handy that they're just telling on themselves now. makes them easier to block |
@emilymbender I didn’t like seeing this at all.
