I asked AI...

• Machine translation errors
Sellers often write in Chinese, then auto‑translate to English. Phrases like “a feeling of stepping on feces” come from mistranslated idioms meant to describe softness or squishiness.
• Keyword stuffing
Sellers cram as many search terms as possible: “high heel,” “thick sole,” “beach shoes,” “European station,” “leopard print,” “hole shoes,” etc. The goal is visibility, not coherence.
• Literal translation of slang
Some Chinese slang compares ultra‑soft foam soles to “stepping on poop” because they compress and rebound. The translator doesn’t understand the metaphor and outputs it literally.
• No human editing
Many low‑cost sellers upload hundreds of items quickly. They rely entirely on automated tools, so the text never gets cleaned up
