Amazon has been listing products with the title, ‘I’m sorry, I cannot fulfil this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy’::Products have appeared on the platform with odd titles that are seemingly related to OpenAI’s usage policy.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The site has been playing host to items with names such as, “I cannot fulfill this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy.”
One dresser previously listed on Amazon was called, "I’m sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy.
The trend suggests companies might be using OpenAI’s popular chatbot to create product descriptions, including item names, without reviewing the final results.
Another listing, which appears to be a piece of hose, is titled: “I apologize, but I cannot complete this task it requires using trademarked brand names which goes against OpenAI use policy.”
Representatives for Amazon and OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.
In a statement shared with Futurism, the company said: “We work hard to provide a trustworthy shopping experience for customers, including requiring third-party sellers to provide accurate, informative product listings.”

The real issue here isn’t the AI-generated listings. The “reviews” being so obviously fake is what I hope gains more traction.
Their products will fail and they will learn. This is likely people who do not know English very well seeking to use AI to automatically name their products for them. Not a terrible application for AI, but certainly shouldn’t be fully automated with no editorial oversight.
The only thing amazon had was a brand. They’ve sold it for short term profit and now it’s just a shittier aliexpress. The question is, why not go for the real thing?
Honest question here…
I was always under the impression that AliExpress is worse than Amazon. Now, Amazon is not good, I know that, but I guess the narratives I was fed is that AliExpress is like Wish, and just terrible, counterfeit/knockoff products (Amazon on that fast track), excessive data capture, and I thought CCP (probably confusing with Temu).
Anyway, can you quick explain how AliExpress is a less shitty Amazon? I’ll start doing some shopping there if that’s the case.
Shipping speed for me, Aliexpress is 11 days or less, Amazon Prime 2 days or less. I think its funny they’ve copied Fedex with their main routes being in-house and their last-mile being “independent” contractors (Fedex Ground / Amazon Flex), and now Fedex will copy them with their upcoming FDX platform, which I believe is supposed to be an upgrade to shoprunner that will continue to sell from other Vendors but more like how amazon and walmart do it, where its a footnote on the item details.
Not as of right now, it isn’t. I was disappointed to see none when I searched.
Damn, and I’m fresh out of I’m sorry, I cannot fulfil this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy.
Feels like it’ll be less than a year before we get AI replies in our messaging apps, then it’s nothing but AI sending messages back and forth.
Sounds like the Dead Internet Theory…
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
The dead Internet theory is an online conspiracy theory that asserts that the Internet now consists mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content that is manipulated by algorithmic curation, marginalizing organic human activity. Proponents of the theory believe these bots are created intentionally to help manipulate algorithms and boost search results in order to ultimately manipulate consumers. Furthermore, some proponents of the theory accuse government agencies of using bots to manipulate public perception, stating "The U.S. government is engaging in an artificial intelligence powered gaslighting of the entire world population". The date given for this "death" is generally around 2016 or 2017.The theory has gained traction because much of the observed phenomena is grounded in quantifiable phenomena like increased bot traffic. However, the idea that it is a coordinated psyop has been described by Kaitlin Tiffany, staff writer at The Atlantic, as a "paranoid fantasy," even if there are legitimate criticisms involving bot traffic and the integrity of the internet.It’s like RAAAiAIIIN
