Oh no AI!

First, I am not a fan of Artificial Intelligence.  As a retired teacher, I fear kids will not learn to think for themselves.  They already think all they have to do is ask Google! More cheating!

So, I had an upgrade alert on my app.  When I added another listing, it was very different,  Now, it scans the pic of your item and generates a description.  You still add all the essential info but it does fill in some for you.  Trouble is, it may not be accurate.

It may generate a nice, weill-worded description but it is very generic and trite.  It is important that the title and description say what you want it to say.

Example:  I added a listing for a bodycon sheath dress that was a floral pattern of yellow and orange flowers on a teal background.  I had to type in the title three times so it said what I needed it to say.

Another was a full skirted dress and the AI said it was assymetrical because the pic was off kilter.  It called it cowl necl. It had a shiny bodice and AI said it was sequins!  It is actually polka dot.

So, good rule of thumb, double check before you hit the list button!

It does generate a generic "this will be a nice dress for a wedding or special occasion"  Pretty soon, nothing will be unique and everything will be the same unless we continue to do our own descriptions.

I am going to add a few more listings tonight and see how this new addition to Poshmark goes.  Most likely, I will continue to do my own wording and continue to giggle at the AI descriptions. Sequins! Right! 😏
