amazon? I mean they have some data center stuff, but amazon-the-website does not seem infected with artificial idiocy yet.


Product pages on Amazon now have AI review summaries.

I like it in theory, but the cynical part of me is suspicious they're somehow using it to skew things positive.


Amazon has its own AI, "rufas," plastered on the site.


And for a while it would helpfully generate python code for you!


What are you talking about, they added a chat bot on amazon.com


I believe it must be US-only then, I don't see it in my european amazon.


Aws docs has a chat bot.


They even had a very Microsoft style rollout for it, where a huge modal for the chat bot would pop up and cover most of the page every single time you went to the docs, with no way to disable it. I tried it out with a very simple database sorting question, and got a completely wrong answer. I don't think I've used it since.


What was hilarious to me was I tried using it to figure out a niche config. I couldn’t use it because my employer totally locks down permissions. Not going to request bot access any time soon.
