I can actually no longer see the point of humanity if some cunt can't be bothered to write a few words about an item they have for sale.

AI = Abandon Interest.

This AI bollocks that is helping to drive the final nail in the coffin for ebay really is a waste of time. When I did the listing for the Rover it gives you an option of using your own description or an AI one. The AI was total bollocks, but I suspect it would get more interest as it would be promoted more by ebay. Why is there such a big push for AI when it is so shit.

Because the more we use it & teach it the results we want, the quicker it learns. The cheapest way to develop it is to let others do it for you.

The industry is paying me a good wage generated by all the excitement so I'm not complaining.

Given the bollocks the eBay LLM generates, it's a bit risky for sellers as descriptions form part of the sale. So incorrect information could easily render a seller liable for misrepresentation.

That Executive is advertised as a 1.3 litre six cylinder. Definitely misrepresentation.

Straighter than a straight thing that has been straightened out but I don't think I could hand over fifteen bags for something so depressing. What is below poverty spec?

Obviously the bitterness is just a natural reaction to the terminally dull and incredibly shit "vehicle" that is an air cooled VW. There is only one other blue air cooled contraption that would win the worse car award putting these in to a distant second. Now there is a video I would like to see a crash test demo between a beetle and a spaz chariot.
