You name a fair point here. I think the part where they’re using an LLM for natural language processing makes a lot of sense. Being able to describe something you don’t know the name of is a genuinely helpful feature. But you’re right that a better implementation would drop the wasteful image generation in place of searching up real images from their product library (which they’re still doing anyway because at some point they have to find a real product to sell you). It feels like that step was maybe added to make it “more AI”, probably at a manager’s insistence.
Oh almost certainly the point is just to have used AI. Theyre accelerating into popping the bubble. The tokens are starting to get priced more realisticly and there’s no way folks built things that financially make sense long term. Everyone is just being pushed to use it more to make more slop.

Suddenly, tokenmaxxing will no longer be a metric for performance once the bills come in.
