I could be a 400lb fas att.Or I could be a tiny petit boy or girl…but my size is still L.
I wonder if this works for thong sizes too.
I accidentally had posted this on Lemmy wholesome. It had mixed reactions. But here, this I’d my hole, it was made for me, and I’m definitely size L according to millions.
so, you’re logged in, have a purchase history that includes clothing, and azn is trying to make a sizing recommendation?
This shirt may be a screwy size and Amazon may have a bunch of return data for people who bought the extra large and ended up exchanging it for a large.
But it’s more likely shitty chatbot being used as “AI” Fuck AI Slop.
And L is definitely not my size. Plus, what if I was going to buy something for my cousin or my husband? My wife? What if I had a newborn? The size is the wrong characteristic to determine based on previous purchases or what a thousand other shoppers have purchased… Ofcourse you’re getting L! Its the thing in the middle! The average!
It’s a text box, not a cop, you can just disagree with it
Not your size? Are you trying to argue against millions of customer orders and reviews? That’s like…a lot of orders and reviews you know.
I recently bought some new trainings shirts. They had a size table so I spent like 10min getting all my measurements and choosing the size that should fit. Only for it being too tight around the chest. Wtf Nike, why even bother
Ive noticed this more and more. Even higher end brands arent doing real QA anymore. The same size and cut of pants on the same shelf at a store will fit differently. Same goes for shoes. Same pair is slightly wrong in one color compared to another.
QA costs money, and actually making sure your suppliers follow your specs doesn’t seem to matter to brands anymore.
here, this is my hole
Uhh…
It was made for me!

When Amazon decides that your size is decided by the average, then by gawd you will pay for the average and thank them for it.
Dear customer,
Based on customer orders and reviews, we have decided to shrink you slightly
Since they’re mentioning reviews it might be warning you that the company in questions products run a bit large, that’s the optimistic guess anyway. Pessimistic guess is AI bullshit.
Worked software for Amazon.com, this is some AI thing trying to make a recommendation based off whether the reviews say the item / company runs large or small
Yeah. Ideally Amazon uses its vast collection of data to cross-reference purchases and returns that were labeled “too small” or “too large” to power these size suggestions, which would make them actually useful. But if that is too expensive, it’s just some AI bullshit guess.
I’m guessing you are a dude. As a woman - I am usually a medium now, which makes logical sense, but sometimes need S or L, even in stuff from the same company. Or something called a 28 or 29, even though no part of me is 29" around. Sizing of clothing for women is wildly inconsistent, and even the size charts don’t help, they lie.
So I do use those recommendations.
Based on other people you know.

Recommended size based on millions of orders and reviews, not what size it thinks you are.
It’s saying this item runs big. You have XL selected so it’s recommending sizing down to L.
It’s not that crazy.

it’s not that smart, it’s just recommending the most popular. … I think.
DBT@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
They use AI to summarize reviews already, it isn’t far fetched to assume they are also using AI for this recommendation as well.

Wouldn’t it then update to recommending a M if he picked large?
If it’s really that the sizing runs large it should just say that, but that message is very ambiguous.

You can see he picked XL
DBT@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Yes, but they have to give you what’s on the tag. So even if it runs large they have to give you an L if you ask for an L.
I don’t think it’s that ambiguous. They tell you why it’s recommended. If they get a lot of returns for this item and customers typically end up with the next size down, and lots of reviews say they run big, it makes sense for them to suggest that and tell you why they’re suggesting that.
This is also them telling you this information while letting you know it’s based on other people’s feedback, not coming directly from Amazon themselves.
