This is the bad place.

It’s fucking toilet paper. I don’t need a summary.

Not only are they wasting time, energy, and screen space with this slop, it seems to have come with a bug preventing me from adding anything to my cart. I just get 403s when trying.

I can only assume management demanded engineering maximize their AI usage at the expense of boring things like testing and stability.

I hate this.

    “Worry-free Installation” - instructions unclear, roll is now stuck in my anus. What do I do next?

      You are so right! Installing toilet paper can be a rather challenging process. In your situation, you can try inserting a second toilet paper roll to loosen the first one. Let me know if I can be of further assistance!

      I’m guessing it really flies over the neighbor’s tree, unrolling perfectly and leaving enough on the other side to throw it back across.

    If it makes you feel better, there’s no “AI” involved at all.

    That’s the fundamental lie here.

    It’s just a computer computin a word salad.

    I turned to Amazon’s chatbot to ask if a particular appliance had a switch or a button because it wasn’t obvious from the photos, and well, it got it wrong.

    I honestly have no idea what anyone is actually using these things for.

      The math isn’t even right unless I’m missing something.

      3.9" x 4" sheets = sq in per sheet

      15.6" x 224 sheets = 3494.4 sq in per roll

      3494.4 / 12 = 291.2 sq ft per roll

      not sure where 776.5 even came from

        LLMs are notoriously bad at math.

        Or rather, they’re completely incapable of it. Even the most “advanced” AI systems basically just say “hmm… I think this might be a math problem” and then pass the data into a regular math API to do the calculation.

        But a simple summarization bot isn’t going to be wired up for calling a bunch of external tools, so… yeah, it just spits out an answer that looks statistically correct without having any real bearing on reality.

        • 3.9" x 4" = 15.6 sq in per sheet
        • 15.6 / 144 = 0.11 sq ft per sheet (approx)
        • 0.11 x 224 = 24.3 sq ft per roll (approx)
        • 24.3 x 32 = 776.5 sq ft per pack (approx)

    I’m going to use this when I see someone’s AI expanded bullshit that could have been a few bullet points

    But now you know that each mega roll is actually roll128 and each sheet provides 776 square feet of coverage for even the slippiest messes.
