The Magic of AI in ebay Descriptions....yet another example

[my-cottage-books-and-antiques]

I know we all have plenty of examples of Ai working its "magic" in ebay descriptions, but this one actually did make me LOL.

I have part of a vintage Blow Mold Nativity set---Mary and Joseph, but no Baby Jesus. So I'm doing my research on this and found someone with the same two pieces. Here's the other seller's AI description (I added the bold):

"Add a vintage touch to your Christmas décor with this charming Empire Blow Mold Wood Grain Mary & Joseph Christmas Nativity. .... .This collectible is from the 1960s and has not been modified. Perfect for the Christmas season, especially since it comes with no baby."

I will not be doing a copy and paste for my description LOL

Artificial intelligence understands things literally based on prior programming and works according to it, not logically, meaning that there is no intelligence comparable to the intelligence of the human mind.

@chapeau-noir  LOL! Too funny!

For a little fun, start a listing and fill out some IS's, then write a description of how horrible the thing is, then hit the AI button. I've gotten some funny results.

I have repeadly heard the majority of ebay buyers appear not to bother reading descriptions.

Although this AI description isn't very good, the majority of ebay users might say, better than nothing

This AI description although not very good, does happen to be better than nothing

But it is something else they will not read (if they don't read descriptions).

What bothers me about the AI descriptions, is they don't really say anything - the IS's and title keywords are repeated with a lot of fluff but it's just automated nonsense. It's what they used to say was "a penny going around pretending it's a twenty dollar bill".

ETA: Poor AI - it can't help itself, it's just an automated text generator, like a virtual hurdy-gurdy.
