Working With Artificial Intelligence (AI)

I wanted to write a quick blog on this for everyone because I'm using AI more and more to clean-up product titles, write descriptions, guestimate weights on things we don't have weights for and provide other important info. I also know RockSolid is limited on what it can hold in the Product Description field - 25 characters is all you get. As we do more and more online, we need to try to write (or rewrite) descriptions that AI can deal with when possible. I've included some examples at the bottom of this post just to give you some ideas for descriptions. 

How AI works in general---Assume you walked up to someone on the street who knew every product in the world and asked them to give you a description for something - they don't know you but they are willing to do it based on what you tell them. Know imagine all you can give them is 25 characters. That's a kind of where we are. But you would also be able to give them a category to help narrow things down. That would help a lot but still may not be enough or may confuse them if you gave them the wrong category. 

For example, if you said to the all-knowing product guru: LTRN MTN DCRTV 100W BRSH - what would they do? They'd probably give you a really bad guess. But if you told them it's in the electrical department of my store, here's what they might give you: LTRN Mountain Decorative 100W Brush Finish Light Fixture. It might have been better to give them 100W Brshd Stl Motn Lamp. This example actually resulted in this title: 100W Brushed Steel Motion Lamp. That kind of title will actually get people in the ballpark. If you include the manufactuerers name when possible, AI can and will try to lookup info on it.

Unfortunately, it's a little hard to know with such limited space available. Since we do include the department, you may not need to give those kinds of clues. So, while I can't give you exact direction, it might help to see some additional examples of what is happening in the system so you get a little better understanding of what AI can and can't do.

Examples:
I've included links if you want to see what AI did with the description too. The description for products is built off of the Title that AI gives it. You might want to take a look at a couple to see what it did.

RockSolid: MOVER AIR PTBL 3-SPEED 55
AI Title: Mover Air Portable 3-Speed 55" Fan  ---- It's not a 55" fan at all :(

It's also important to note that for more expensive and profitable items (especially those we will be carrying for quite a while), I can have a better version of AI create great product titles and descriptions or pull them right from the vendor or manufacturer's site, if you let me know.
