Inappropriate AI generated car adverts
Discussion
Hi All,
In the grand tapestry of the automotive universe, where the roar of engines and the shine of polished chrome ignite the passions of countless souls, there emerges a curious and somewhat perplexing interloper: artificial intelligence, a mechanized muse tasked with the creation of ads for these steel steeds. Once heralded as the harbingers of a new era, where the convergence of technology and creativity would usher in an age of unparalleled marketing marvels, these digital wordsmiths have, alas, stumbled upon the cobblestones of linguistic finesse.
Within this illustrious forum, a sanctuary for the gasoline-infused dreams of aficionados and enthusiasts alike, we find ourselves on the cusp of a discussion most intriguing and fraught with the potential for fervent debate. The issue at hand is the peculiar and often bewildering prose birthed by these silicon scribes in their attempts to ensnare the hearts of potential car buyers. These advertisements, crafted in the crucible of algorithms and data, often stray into realms of absurdity and incomprehensibility, weaving narratives that, while rich in vocabulary, lack the soulful essence that true automotive passion imparts.
Let us embark upon a journey of exploration and discourse, a voyage through the veritable jungle of jumbled jargon and misplaced metaphors that these artificial artisans produce. May our conversation illuminate the shadows cast by these digital denizens, offering insights both profound and profuse into the curious case of AI-generated car ads that, in their quest for persuasion, venture instead into the vale of verbosity.
I'm getting a little irritated, seeing the poor use of Large Language Models such as ChatGPT, being used to write car adverts. Let's use this space to find the worst, share and eradicate this behaviour....

A series 1 Lotus Elise
This meticulously cared-for masterpiece boasts only 7397 miles on the clock and proudly stands as a factory original and one-owner example.
The exterior gleams in the optioned metallic finish, exuding a timeless elegance that turns heads wherever it ventures. Complementing this visual delight are the sumptuous Black leather seats, adding a touch of luxury to the lightweight racing-inspired cockpit. Inside, you'll find an optional Radio kit that elevates your driving experience with seamless entertainment, perfectly harmonizing with the Elise's spirited character. Additionally, an optional Alarm system ensures peace of mind, safeguarding your investment with state-of-the-art security features.
Beneath the bonnet lies a marvel of engineering: the Lotus Elise Series 1 is powered by a high-revving, 1.8 litre naturally aspirated engine that delivers an exhilarating 120 horsepower. Due to the vehicle's low weight (a mere 725kg!), this lightweight powerhouse can propel the Elise from 0 to 60 mph in an impressive 5.8 seconds, ensuring every drive is an adrenaline-pumping experience.

eBay's AI description feature is beyond useless for cars, it baffles me how it's being used so often.
A paragraph about the cars shiny colour and how many doors its got is the last thing you want as a used car buyer.
I hadn't realised such a feature existed - but I had noticed what were obviously A.I. produced ad's. When considering buying a Thunderbird Sport, I really need to be informed how the vibrant yellow paint will draw attention to the rider's taste and discretion and demand respect upon any entrance... No, I need to know if the sprag clutch has been changed!A paragraph about the cars shiny colour and how many doors its got is the last thing you want as a used car buyer.

Since the eBay AI listing tool went live i've noticed more & more listings inflicted with the bulls
t AI wall of text descriptions.
Although it certainly shows just how lazy a large amount of people are nowadays that they can't be bothered to write something themselves. I'm even seeing the descriptions on used car part listings now where in the old days it would be a simple description of what the item is, age, condition, etc, but now it's one or two massive paragraphs saying how great the part was when it was brand new, all the benefits it offers, quoting the name of the manufacturer repeatedly, etc
I saw one recently which was for a carbon fibre interior trim for an Abarth. Within the massive wall of text it referenced the fact the part was made of carbon fibre 5 times, gave a massive load of text about how parts like this are amazing for improving the performance of the car (it wouldn't - it was a carbon insert for the steering wheel), how carbon fibre parts improve the looks and will make people jealous
and the end of nearly every sentence ended with "... choice for your Abarth 595".
