This is no different.

Responsibility is not something ebay is known for. Betting that they have no clue what it means.
Some overpaid seat warmer probably found it in the waste basket.

Responsibility and Ebay should never be used in the same sentence. EBAY HAS PROVEN AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT THEY CAN’T BE TRUSTED. THEIR GREED GETS IN THE WAY.

Lack of understanding and simplistic answers suggest that some online “AI” applications are nothing more than redesignating old BOT software as “AI”. I noticed that eBay now includes the term “AI” in policy “decision” emails. For example: “This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence.” The statement suggests that lack of understanding by humans can be overcome by labeling the result as “AI enhanced” or vaguely implying that thought went into the result. Is the objective to solve problems or convince users that they should accept zombie-quality decisions because they are labeled “artificial intelligence”.

I am looking for real intelligence, not the artificial kind.

I fear that if eBay uses the universe of listing in the Stamps category to develop a model of “good” listings, the result will be very bad, perhaps lawsuit worthy. There are so many bad listings in the stamps category, that looking at a few bad ones will trigger an avalanche of bad listings clogging up the space the title and description. Until eBay started attempting to “steer” customers away from good listings, I had no idea how many bad listings lurk on eBay. To be clear, I consider listings to be bad if they are grossly overpriced, offer forged or altered stamps, fail to describe faults, mendacious boilerplate, or ineffective and ugly images. How will AI separate the good from the bad?

I might use closed AI to help create listing titles, but only if limited to the universe of my sold listings saved in SixBit. The AI objective function should favor quality listings over fleecing unwitting buyers. Unsing AI with an unknown objective function is not safe.

Ahahahahah! Now there’s a lofty title!
