I saw it, and I really want the mouthpiece that works great without a reed.

This is amazing.
Is it computer generated? It's nonsense. One mouthpiece is described as a 'five string option'. Then there is this:
While many of the same features are found in most of today’s best clarinets, there are a few variations that are worth mentioning. An inexpensive option that‘s perfect for beginners is the BOSS B-15 Mouthpiece Set. This set includes a 15-inch and a 17-inches mouthpiece. It also includes an extension cord that can be plugged into an audio or wireless recording device. We also like the beautiful Fender Klipsch Bb Student Mouthpieces.
The BBS is a versatile instrument that offers both high and low E notes and comes with an 18-in/160mm mouth piece. If you prefer a more expensive option, the Yamaha BBR-500 Student BB Mouth Piece is an excellent choice. Its D tuning allows players to play the high E note without the risk of distortion.

I like the bit about the winning mouthpiece that says “The black colour makes it stand out from the rest of the pack.”

I fancy the one that “enables you to record while your mouth is closed, and to play while you are speaking.” It would save such a lot of time and effort.

At first, I just classified these as bad translations. However, the more I think about it, the more I am convinced the shared link is a snapshot of machine learning. Just my own theory, but it is reasonable to me that a machine was tasked with creating a web page about clarinet mouthpieces, and we see the results.

We live on the Planet of Machines. Humans infest the planet and will soon be declared to be a nuisance and a burden, rendered helpless and eventually eliminated by The Machines.
So, we infest the Starship Enterprise ... (remember that one from the 1970s?)

Fuzzy might have point. The mixing up of statements and characteristics of clarinets and mouthpieces does suggest more than bad translation was at work in creating that ‘information’. If that’s the current state of machine learning then we humans have a bit more time left before we’re obsolete. Mind you, when we humans have all gone, the idea of machines learning what other machines like and trying to come up with something to appeal to them would be very entertaining to witness.

If you go to 'Home' you cannot find anything to do with mouthpieces, and all the links are routed to Amazon.com. Maybe the site has been hijacked.

I'm sure that somewhere, in a universe far from here, this all makes perfect sense.

I love that the tone of the piece is flawlessly salesmanlike, even though the content is nonsense. There's something quite strange going on there, even for computer generated text.

Maybe we’re the guinea pigs for testing those pages or whatever system produced them. We’re in the lab and we didn’t know it.

Ken: I think that's the point of the site. All the links are Amazon affiliate links, so the owner of the page will earn a commission from anything you buy off Amazon, after clicking a link on the page.
I did wonder if the page was deliberately bonkers so that it would get shared, and thus the links will get clicked and the cents will start pouring in!
