They "cannot guarantee" the product description of the 1.3k dollar laptop theyre selling is accurate because they used chatgpt to write it (thelemmy.club)

This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

To be fair it could just be whatever RETAILER is using the slop description, but not the manufacturer.

But yeah, don't buy from them.

That does seem to be the case - it's specifically Best Buy and they seem to have fed the spec sheet into an LLM to generate a description.
