1950s advertising language instead of a proper Item Description

[aramatic]

I've noticed an increasing number of sellers of vintage calculators and computers resorting to ludicrous fifties-style advertising instead of providing a useful description of their item, perhaps because they know nothing about it. Here's an example I've just come across:

"Experience computing at its finest with the *** vintage home computer. This classic home computer is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike. With its advanced features and powerful capabilities, it's perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of nostalgia to their home office or entertainment center.

Whether you're a vintage computer enthusiast or just looking for a unique piece of tech history, the *** is sure to impress. From its sleek design to its impressive performance, this home computer is the perfect addition to any collection. So why wait? Order yours today and experience the power and beauty of vintage computing firsthand!"

This huffing and puffing is not a description—there's not a single piece of information (does it work?), just sales patter from a bygone era. If this was the only example I'd put it down to the seller's idea of a joke/satire, but unfortunately such nonsense is becoming all too common in the vintage consumer electronics world and is clearly seriously intended. Is the virus spreading elsewhere?

This sounds like people using ChatGPT to generate descriptions.

These are auto-generated AI descriptions

Yes, I wasn't aware until now that eBay has a ChatGPT-AI-Description Generator. How awful. Just what we don't need. Some people may think vintage sales talk without any information is attractive, but as a buyer it has exactly the opposite effect on me.

Reading it definitely gave me a chuckle, but I know it wouldn't be funny if I were trying to make a buying decision.

My wife uses the AI for her vintage stuff and adds LOL at the end.

Actually, this AI-generated rubbish is pretty contemporary ad writing style, but because it's not written by humans and has no human input, it doesn't say anything - all AI does is grift from the colossal mountains of glop that is the internet.
