This is the bad place.

It’s fucking toilet paper. I don’t need a summary.

Not only are they wasting time, energy, and screen space with this slop, it seems to have come with a bug preventing me from adding anything to my cart. I just get 403s when trying.

I can only assume management demanded engineering maximize their AI usage at the expense of boring things like testing and stability.

I hate this.

      The math isn’t even right unless I’m missing something.

      3.9" x 4" sheets = sq in per sheet

      15.6" x 224 sheets = 3494.4 sq in per roll

      3494.4 / 12 = 291.2 sq ft per roll

      not sure where 776.5 even came from

        LLMs are notoriously bad at math.

        Or rather, they’re completely incapable of it. Even the most “advanced” AI systems basically just say “hmm… I think this might be a math problem” and then pass the data into a regular math API to do the calculation.

        But a simple summarization bot isn’t going to be wired up for calling a bunch of external tools, so… yeah, it just spits out an answer that looks statistically correct without having any real bearing on reality.

        • 3.9" x 4" = 15.6 sq in per sheet
        • 15.6 / 144 = 0.11 sq ft per sheet (approx)
        • 0.11 x 224 = 24.3 sq ft per roll (approx)
        • 24.3 x 32 = 776.5 sq ft per pack (approx)
