They have used auto-translation for years too, with hillarious results. It is obvious that no human is validating the output on non-US/EN Amazon sites.

Or these auto translated nuggets (in Swedish) 😄

Amazon.se auto translated product listing: "Jätte fluffig kuk plyshleksak" (det är en tupp)
Amazon.se auto translated product listing: Leksakstält i "ljusa färger och slottstema gör tältet en vacker gåva för din egen, eller en gåva för en prostituerad, barnbarn eller lillasyster."
Amazon.se auto translated product listing: "Jävla svamp - trästoppningsminivävmaskin". En svampformad träbit för att stoppa strupor.

@arstechnica Oh great fun! And not just on Amazon I notice. Many webshops are already doing their product descriptions with AI it seems… AND not even looking at the results. #sigh 🥴
