That looks like an attempt at a literal translation to English from Chinese using a language translator. I’ve seen similar language in directions that have come with products from China.

Hold on; this whole thread sounds to me like it was created by ChatGPT. Tons of complaints about AI, responses that cover the pros and cons of AI generated content… I smell a rat. :wink: /s

As an ardent fan of the emdash and a frequent visitor to [emdash.fan](https://emdash.fan/) I am deeply annoyed to see it abused by AI.

AI sucks, Caribou will never touch it, and I’ll write new descriptions for everything if YoYoExpert doesn’t want to use the ones I provide.

Thanks, Steve, I didn’t know that was even a website — and I know a few esoteric websites, I’ll be sure to keep this at the ready.

So uh  
I was looking up the Shutter specs on the yoyofactory website recently and read this monstrosity

It’s not at all the worst offender in this thread, by far, I just wasn’t expecting to see soulless chatgpt there

It’s funny cause they didn’t even have to do this :skull:

Shutter was released almost a decade before ChatGPT even existed, what was wrong with the description they were using all that time that made them want to change it?

Annoying…

I would legit pay money to never see AI generated anything on the internet ever again
