A disturbing new phenomenon has emerged on Amazon in which strange, seemingly AI-generated ads contradict OpenAI's usage guidelines. Internet users had fun typing “Violates OpenAI’s Usage Policy” on the e-commerce platform. Screenshots shared on social media and discovered by The Verge show interesting products such as chairs and tables. These articles, marked by names like “I'm sorry, but I can't generate a response to this request” or “I'm sorry, but I can't scan or generate new product titles,” leave users wondering if it whether this is a joke or a real AI creation.

Interestingly, this trend is not just limited to Amazon, but also extends to social networks like Twitter, where accounts tweet messages like “I'm sorry, but I can't respond to your request because it violates OpenAI's content guidelines,” as The Verge shows. These limitations of ChatGPT text generation support should hopefully be resolved fairly quickly.
