If it could do that, it would be immediately gamed to prefer over-priced knockoff garbage, to the extent that all online shopping would become a shitshow to everyone within a few years. Think about how badly SEO has ruined the internet; ChatBot Optimization will be much worse.
- modeless 4y ago> it would be immediately gamed to prefer over-priced knockoff garbage, to the extent that all online shopping would become a shitshow to everyone within a few years Have you used Amazon lately? This is the world we live in already today. Human shoppers are being gamed instead of AI shoppers but the outcome is the same. Online shopping is a shitshow. There will be an arms race between people building the AIs and people gaming the AIs. And it's not yet clear who will win long term. Anyone who claims to know is talking out of their ass. But within my lifetime it will be harder to fool AIs than it is to fool humans.
