The race is on to make AI agents do your online shopping for you
- ReptileMan 2y agoCan you please make AI agents that fold my laundry and clean my dishes, and leave the things I enjoy to me instead of the other way around?
- JohnFen 2y agoThat's a nonstarter for me entirely for three reasons. First, I don't think the technology is anywhere near up to the job. Second, I wouldn't trust it to be working in my best interests. More likely, it would be working in the best interest of the AI company or their commercial partners. Related to that, how would I stop the agent from buying from companies that I object to doing business with? Third, I want to evaluate things myself. If I'm buying something that I don't need to evaluate, then I don't need any assistance. Actually making a purchase is the easy part, not in need of automation.
