I was in the train, and I don't know why, but I chuckled so hard when I saw this, I don't know, maybe because it is peak irony: "Low Priced Enshittifaction" rofl
So does Amazon just like scrape the internet for searched terms and then fabricate ads based on them? And now “enshittification” is searched enough? But does that mean that some AWS AI somewhere mistook it for a noun? I know it’s technically a noun, but ykwim a physical thing. Or do they just do this with every word?
Did you click the link? Did it take you to Corey Doctorow’s new book at least?
I want to say that the AI shirts are also generated on the spot based on the search term lol. I don't think it's quite there yet, but some of the AI slop on actual merch I've seen in search results has been really spot-on specific to what I searched for.
That's lot of positive reviews!
Every critique is subsumed into capitalism and reinforces it

They bought all the words too
This is fucking crazy.

Its probably dynamic.
if searchTerm in keywords: generateAdd(searchTerm)
Yep. Just leads you to an amazon search for Enshittification
Which actually returns relevant results. Lol.
Enshitification at a low price?
The book probably?
Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It by Cory Doctorow.
Thus was my thought too
We already have this at home
The irony of that word getting trendy enough that it's being used like that on Amazon is just.. chefs kiss
This website is so enshittified I thought your post was an ad.
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality,
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies
And seeeee....
I'm just a poor boy, i need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Anywhere the wind blows
Doesn't really matter...
I think this should be a sub’s banner image.
I second that lol!
Did... Did you click it?
I had to do it myself. It brings up two actual books about the topic, then a long line of AI-created t-shirts.
