Hoi,
How does that help ? The point is exactly that there is no point to descriptions. Why iterate on a dog it will still be a mutt.
Thanks,

I'd rather see it not as something terribly disappointing, but as an opportunity to find a way to fill item descriptions more efficiently.

Hoi,
I understand that item descriptions are going to be used in a mobile app. In my opinion that is seriously disappointing because it is not realistic to expect enough coverage in any language. Particularly in the small languages it will not be really useful.

My question is: we have had automated descriptions for a long time. What is it that they makes that they are not used.?

Thanks,
