Using AI Models? Might want to make sure you include a disclaimer
Summary: A discussion originated by my-cottage-books-and-antiques about the importance of using disclaimers when employing AI models. adamcartwright continues the conversation but without further content provided. Participants like inhawaii, mattva, and others join the discussion, yet the specific insights and arguments remain unspecified as no detailed conversation content is available from the posts.
Beginning June 9th, New York will begin enforcing a new state law that requires ads to include disclaimers if they are using AI generated "people". I'm not 100% sure if this includes static images, or just video, but I believe it is both. Details can be found online. (This does not apply to things like AI generated backgrounds and so forth.)
While NY is the first state to do this, I anticipate more states will follow suit, and perhaps even the Federal government as well.
So, ebay might soon be requiring a disclaimer as well. Personally, I think it is good policy to include a disclaimer whenever an ebay seller uses AI in gallery photos.
My guess is, few if any of the regulars here use it, but if you do...hopefully this info will help you.

·4 months ago@adamcartwright @inhawaii If they are not going to read the listing, then how do I know they won't get the item and discover something they did not ask about and didn't know about because they didn't look at the listing? This is why I block them.

·4 months agoThis is my beef with the way eBay has implemented the use of AI. AI currently is a very new and as we can all see, a very flawed tool in many aspects.
It should not be used (willy nilly) to create descriptions. They have stuck it out there like an (oooo...ahhh) sort a thing to make sellers more proficient at listing items.
The AI that eBay has given us is like the relative you promised your grandma to give a chance too. It knows nothing but gimmicks and with the amount of time you sit there correcting it, you could of done it yourself in half the time.
Will grandma (I mean eBay) take responsibility for it's mistakes when a buyer is irate over an item not being described correctly?
I think you already know the answer to that.

·4 months agoFlagging AI is a great idea, but I'm not sure it would even matter here, because it seems so many don't read the listings.
I just had someone message me a question that's answered three places in my listing -- the title, the photos, and the description.

I don't even mention the the answers are already in the listing.

Thanks.
Well I did do that, but I also pointed him to the photos where the answer is stamped on the item, so he could see it for himself.
How do these people make it through life?
