I have no idea what they want us to do with these stupid chatbots for shopping. is it to make advertising their shit sound more conversational?
I ain't going to the big store like this without some modicum of idea what I already want. And get suckered into buying a bit more when I peruse the aisle :P
It's for boomers who can't navigate websites, menus, and search bars, and just want to text someone and tell them what to buy.
And it's for teenagers, who (the AI bros hope) will never learn how to navigate websites, menus, and search bars, and will spend their entire lives relying on AI tools to facilitate (and filter and censor and control) their access to the Internet.
I think the tech bros saw how a lot of Gen A don't learn to use Windows/Mac/Linux OSes because they do everything on apps, and thought "hold my beer".
This is the dumbest timeline.
fucking dumb
