This is the best summary I could come up with:
As of press time, some version of that telltale OpenAI error message appears in Amazon products ranging from lawn chairs to office furniture to Chinese religious tracts (Update: Links now go to archived copies, as the original were taken down shortly after publication).
Sometimes, the product names even highlight the specific reason why the apparent AI-generation request failed, noting that OpenAI can't provide content that "requires using trademarked brand names" or "promotes a specific religious institution" or, in one case, "encourage unethical behavior."
The descriptions for these oddly named products are also riddled with obvious AI error messages like, "Apologies, but I am unable to provide the information you're seeking."
On the contrary, in September, Amazon launched its own generative AI tool to help sellers "create more thorough and captivating product descriptions, titles, and listing details."
And we could only find a small handful of Amazon products slipping through with the telltale error messages in their names or descriptions as of press time.
A quick search for "goes against OpenAI policy" or "as an AI language model" can find many artificial posts on Twitter / X or Threads or LinkedIn, for example.
