This thing just started popping up and I hate it. Edit - added picture of offending box.

    I blocked it with uBlock Origin, using the element picker thing. Seems to be working well enough so far.

      An excellent dude played by George Carlin.

      But the internet seems to suggest it’s an AI that first debuted in Amazon’s mobile app. Maybe it’s been released onto the main website or maybe just the main .com or something. (I’m in .co.uk land, and try not to use Amazon unless I absolutely have to.)

      From the article I skimmed, there is - or was back in March - no way to save or export conversations had with it, which seems like a red flag to me.

      It first showed up on amazon.com for me yesterday. I found an article that mentioned it popping up on there from like a month ago, so they might be doing a slow roll-out or something.

      It’s basically just an AI chat window that pops up on all of the product pages. I thought it was pretty obnoxious.
