@ILiedAboutCake on Twitter seems to have first noted that Amazon has a new review search engine, Rufus!

… it’s just a ChatGPT prompt window. You can ask it about Barack Obama. You can ask it to write your Python script for you.

Corey Quinn (@quinnypig) notes the pornographic limerick that doesn’t rhyme properly

Phil Calcado (@pcalcado) notes that it will happily send you to competitors.

    for anyone who wants to increase Amazon’s GPT bill by generating dildo limericks, it looks like this is only enabled for Amazon’s app, not their website

      I’d bet the personal information they get from the app is worth much more than what they are getting billed for GTP useage.

        I think that might be the pitch, but really it’s mid mgt thinking they can juice their personal number

        I so dearly hope there’s a quality/coherence/something clause in that contract. because bezoscorp is exactly the right size and type of Bigger to want that (and openai is exactly the type to sub for free compute credits)

    what a disgrace! these big tech companies just code and code and code! millions of dollars thrown at the wall., barely anything at local artists (except maybe to busk their coffeeshop)

    it’s this kind of inconsiderate scheduling that’s killing small surreal!

    Is this just on the app? I tried this on the website and it’s just giving me reviews and Q&A responses related to the product I was on.

        I never felt there was a good reason for this app, they sell stuff online, and that works just fine in a browser without an app spying on my every move.

    So that’s why people are getting Amazon to give them ANFO instructions.

    it would be quite useful to have a search agent you can give your requirements and it just goes through all listings and finds the closest fit

      it would also be nice to have a magical flying unicorn pony that ejaculates rainbows, but all we got is this retired seaside donkey with a cornetto strapped to its head and we fed it food colouring and laxatives
