what company would be so dumb as to just put an unfiltered ChatGPT prompt as their search window? ... Amazon.

@ILiedAboutCake on Twitter seems to have first noted that Amazon has a new review search engine, Rufus!

… it’s just a ChatGPT prompt window. You can ask it about Barack Obama. You can ask it to write your Python script for you.

Corey Quinn (@quinnypig) notes the pornographic limerick that doesn’t rhyme properly

Phil Calcado (@pcalcado) notes that it will happily send you to competitors.

    for anyone who wants to increase Amazon’s GPT bill by generating dildo limericks, it looks like this is only enabled for Amazon’s app, not their website

      I’d bet the personal information they get from the app is worth much more than what they are getting billed for GTP useage.

        I think that might be the pitch, but really it’s mid mgt thinking they can juice their personal number
