Warning: That AI writing tool I used for blog posts kept getting product names wrong

I tried Jasper AI to write product descriptions for my eBay store last month. After about 20 posts I noticed it kept mixing up model numbers on electronics. It called a Samsung Galaxy S23 an S22 in three different listings. I had to go back and fix every single one manually. The tool saves time on the first draft but you really have to double check all the specific details. Has anyone else had AI tools mess up basic facts like this?

Ai writing tool kept mixing up model numbers" - yep, that sounds about right. I tried using one of those tools to write product descriptions for my own little side gig a few months back. First thing it did was call a vintage 1960s camera a 1970s model. Made me look real bad with a customer who knew their cameras. I figure it's kind of like asking my dad to help me remember someone's name - he gets the general idea right but the details are always a bit off. These tools are great for getting the flow and structure down, but they're absolutely terrible at getting the small facts straight. I learned my lesson the hard way and now I just use them for outlines and do all the fact-checking myself.

Same vibe as AI getting sports scores wrong. Close but not quite right.
