"Small, itchy, blister-like bumps caused by the varicella-zoster virus," the dish description from Sikar's Royal Roll Express restaurant reads. "Common in childhood."
A misreading of the dish name in question — "Chicken Pops" — could well explain why an AI may have spat out a description for what sounds an awful lot like chicken pox, a common childhood virus that causes the exact kind of nasty "blister-like bumps" detailed on the menu.
Do companies no longer have Quality Assurance at all now? You don't even need like a whole department, just make it part of someone's job. This is crazy that there's no proofreading.
I know of 4 companies in the last 2 months that laid off their entire QA departments. With the expectation that product and engineers will pick up the QA work with the reasoning that you can use AI to be more productive and help with quality assurance tasks. Historically, in my experience, QA departments are the only ones that actually have any documentation and knowledge of how the product works... Better than the product department.
I'm against the idea, personally. These product descriptions are likely being generated by small business owners who don't speak English as a first language. It's not their fault that these LLM translators are garbage.
