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

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

I hope somebody sues them for an unreasonable amount of money, and then wins even more - enough to get the attention of other companies that are considering this.

Laziness/overenthusiastic cost cutting is NOT an excuse for false advertising.

Companies really need to stop expecting an ever growing amount of profit and just accept making enough to live off of

SO many problems would go away if people stopped being greedy assholes. Since this problem was created by greedy assholes, the best way to get their attention is, ironically, by suing them for a staggering amount of money (which could be misconstrued as greed).
