Amazon: I've lost confidence in buying anything from amazon

Because it's all accurate*!

You can try and be all hand-wavy about it, but the fact of the matter is these companies do a lot of harm and I will take advantage of every opportunity to warn others. They've long since lost the benefit of the doubt.

* Excluding Apple. I don't have much experience with them or their platform(s) to make an informed argument either way.

These companies are functioning like whales with pet chihuahuas on cocaine with a trillion dollar war-chest. I might try to make a prompt and see what the AI gives me back.

That they still exist and making money hand over fist should be considered a wonderful, quirky oddity of human fatuousness. I don't think they should be protected.
