I needed something mundanely weird to make my afternoon, thanks to whoever at Lenovo decided to get a LLM to make this. I took a few minutes checking out the wider glossary page and came across this on the keyboard layout page[1]: >What are the most common types of keyboard layouts? >The two most common types of keyboard layouts are QWERTY (which stands for “query, enter, write, erase, type”) LLMs bluffing hard isn't anything new, but it's weird to see it on a reputable company's site like this.

> it's weird to see it on a reputable company's site like this. No longer a reputable company in my view, after seeing this. I didn’t have an opinion on Lenovo before today but I’ve now made a mental note never to buy anything this company makes.

  that is a very "level-headed" and "reasonable" reaction. all quotes are sarcasm quotes. what the hell is it with people automatically reacting in the extreme whenever they see a thing they don't like?

  After owning a Thinkpad Carbon (and running PopOS on it), I would absolutely get another one of their products (probably a p16). For me it's been rock solid investment. I wouldn't consider anyone else, well maybe System76. Their top of the line Threadripper desktops have that "Lure of the Sirens" feel about them. :)

  because of an auto generated article which nobody was ever going to read?

    Yes exactly because of that. More specifically because of a whole knowledge base of poor, low quality completely misleading bullshit content which is only there as a blatant low effort SEO technique. A company’s online presence is supposed to build trust in their brand. For me personally, this does the exact opposite.
