    Default All hail our robot overlords (AI)

    I am listing something on Ebay and noticed an option "Let AI write your description" - I clicked it and wow, their description is better than anything I could have written! I think AI is going to take over the world!
    Try it, even if you aren't selling anything - put a bunch of keywords in the title and see what they come up with. It's crazy.

    My cousin's MIL's sister (ha) writes romance type novels. She types in the plot for each chapter and a program practically writes the book for her. She self publishes on Amazon and makes money, not best sellers but good pocket money and feeds her ego of being a published writer.

    Hey how did you get it to type AI?? Ah, meant an i but a Capital one. What I see mostly is an L but typed without the lower line on bottom. I tend to read that as AL. But you did it correctly. People must do better if they want Artificial Intelligence to work correctly. It is only as good as it's teacher. I will wait for that.

    I applied for a new job several weeks ago. I did fine on the resume but got stuck on a cover letter, so I had AI write one for me. It was super easy - found an AI website, copied/pasted the job description, copied/pasted my resume, and it spit out the letter. It wasn't perfect, but it gave me a great jumping off point and the perfect format!

    My husband has used it to help him solve problems in his work environment. It was taking his company a month to respond to customer requests for quotes and proposals. He wrote a little program that utilizes AI: the customer types what they're looking for, and the AI engine scans through all the company's data and sales materials to answer the question, while at the same time setting up info for a live human to follow up with. It has increased his sales and impressed upper management.

    Its for when you are selling an item. You have to go thru the listing process until you get to the page where you write the description and then it will pop up saying "Let AI draft it for you"

    I tried it for a sewing pattern. I found the description to be a bit over the top and sort of ridiculous. It says "The skirt pattern is suitable for those who want to make their own clothes and is part of the Sewing Patterns category.". Well, yeah. I'm not sure who would want it except someone who want to make their own clothes and its obviously in the Sewing Patterns category. It also finished with "Get ready to create your own unique and stylish skirt with this gorgeous Butterick pattern!" A bit much IMO
