      Yes all the mars bars on amazon are unavailable to semi-rural areas so they probably won't

      If the regions are providing the cities with crops, fresh produce, beef, lamb etc etc… I don't see why Amazon can't throw a few free Mars Bars their way.

    So, who is going to have a crack at prompt engineering their way to a lifetime supply of Mars Bars?

    • Kommodore on 03/09/2024 - 13:48

      Yeah because AI is magic. It outputs yes/no to thing then a human coded it to send a email code, that is one time and $10 minimum. Only way it can go wrong is if someone screwed up the code minimums. You cant ask it to give you $100 million from Jeff Bezos it isn't hooked up to anything else.

      • AaronR on 03/09/2024 - 14:44

        I mean, sure. You might be right if someone competent planned, designed and built the thing.

        Let me introduce you to marketing and their “just get it done tomorrow or I will do it myself” team.

        It’s just ChabGTC. How hard can it be?!

      So did mine. It suggested what I did wasn't as "thing-worthy" as doing the christmas shopping early. So I typed in "did christmas shopping early" and won a mars bar.

      • birnie on 04/09/2024 - 11:18

        Cut/Paste yours for Xmas shopping.
        Totes worked.

      update - wrote "Dropped my kids off at school, did the laundry, went to get groceries, cooked lunch, went to the gym" in hopes that one of these would trigger the prompt and it worked!

        Never. Tried 3 times over about a week or so. Gave up eventually. I actually had forgot all about it till you just reminded me.
        Meh, its not worth the hassle so i will move on

          i completely forgot about this and i got a amazon package with the promo on it which reminded me i should have the email… yet i never got it.

          • Puglife on 04/10/2024 - 13:49

            @sandman20104159: I received an email on 30th September which I feel was completely random like others received and had nothing to do with my submission nearly 4 weeks earlier.
            I doubt I will even use it though..

    With Mars bars regularly under $1 I reckon this is under minimum wage.

      • easternculture on 03/09/2024 - 14:42

        To do a thing requires someone to do a thing with a thing to complete doing the thing in the most accurate way of doing a thing. Some will do a thing to question your ability to do a thing but as long as you believe you can do a thing, then just keep doing a thing

    So what’s the impetus for requiring camelcase in the title?

    And while we’re at it, given there is so much angst and weird validation over titles why is it left as one big string instead of separate fields for price and store etc?

      The Title is a Butchered Version of Title Case.

    Looks like the endpoint has a little bit of rate-limiting from my experiments.

    They also don't appreciate attempts at prompt engineering as those will return BLOCKED from the endpoint instead of YES/NO.
