Thus far I didn't have to worry about ChatGPT having bad incentives when giving me advice on product purchases. Now that "Merchants pay a small fee on completed purchases", will the model steer me towards ACP-supported retailers at a higher rate?

One system should find products, independently of whether a vendor of them supports “ACP.” And I should be able to configure my agent to “only purchase where ACP is supported.” In the context of a conversation, I’d expect it to show me all the products it found, and offer to refine the list to include only ACP vendors.
- CyberMacGyver 1y agoThis will be worst for consumers, like DoorDash or Uber eats. DoorDash takes 15-30% of fees from restaurants so restaurants raise their prices and consumers have to pay service fee and a delivery fee and tip. Be ready to pay more at sites that have this enabled.
