This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like “*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things”??? What the fuck are you selling then

    I recently ran into this issue with a coffee pot. I was specifically hunting for a coffee pot with an adjustable temperature warmer. Ordered one that specifically stated that in the description, only to receive a coffee pot that did not have that feature. Checked the model number on the box versus the listing, and it’s the same. Then I saw the fine print: we are not responsible for inaccurate product information.

    Do not buy that laptop. If they cut corners on the fucking description, who knows what else they’ll cut corners on.

      I literally cannot think of the last time I saw a Samsung (or Sony for that matter) laptop in the wild.

        How’d you know it was Samsung? Honestly I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Samsung laptop even through a screen

          I think they’re assuming it’s a Samsung computer because it mentions phone link can connect to a Galaxy smartphone. Seeing as that’s the name of the program provided by Microsoft (which will connect to any smartphone) I’m assuming whatever ad copy this shitty llm ate to regurgitate this slop used a Galaxy phone as an example

      To be fair it could just be whatever RETAILER is using the slop description, but not the manufacturer.

      But yeah, don’t buy from them.

        That does seem to be the case - it’s specifically Best Buy and they seem to have fed the spec sheet into an LLM to generate a description.

    Was just arguing about the usefulness of AI as a tool with someone on here, and he said that AI consistently making mistakes is a great way to improve critical thinking skills, because it challenges you to figure it out on your own after AI fails.

    So what I’m saying is, that was an absolute rubbish take, and shit like this is going to be the downfall of the internet. The internet was such a wonderful, useful tool, and now look at how they massacred my boy 😞

      It went to shit when “the internet” became 4-6 biggest web services, this is just the final nail in coffin.

    What’s keeping them from checking the info before publishing it, though?

    Oh, right. Greed.

      Makes me wonder what that world would be like. People will have to realize that they got something wrong or misread instructions. Like they can’t just think “this is how things work” all the time
