> Generative AI and other technologies behind Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology are making checkout lines a thing of the past.
Took me 5 seconds to find posts from Amazon touting it as "AI".
- chrisjj 2y agoYet Amazon mentions AI not even once in the sales pitch https://justwalkout.com/ https://justwalkout.com/ . Yes Amazon have a few blog posts mentioning it, but nothing that can fairly be called AI washing.
- bgirard 2y agoMy quote above is 2 clicks away from your link. If your definition for AI washing is higher than most then that's fine. Also going on wayback machine for your link and I find this: > We built Just Walk Out technology leveraging the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. They changed and back peddled. Presumably as they had to face reality that the technology wasn't ready to deliver on its promise anytime soon.
- chrisjj 2y agoWhat two clicks, please? > They changed and back peddled. I'd like to see that change. Re mention or not of "AI", the text you quoted is no different from that currently at the page I linked to.
