This was bound to happen, but they will also likely see a much higher chargeback rate across the board if users are surprised when random comments or agent actions place orders or that orders placed too easily need to be reversed. Because consumers have less disposable income with all the AI-enabled layoffs, the bigger bonanza will come if OpenAI creates educational pathways via AI to enable more people to make money with AI. Entrepreneurial guides that take you step by step, accounting and other hurdles that AI can walk you through as you grow, brainstorming and exploring new business ideas, training people for a new trade or career path as employees. That will be the true game-changer that beats AGI. Because when you can give the entire society an easy ladder towards the industries that need them most, you will have a society that makes money off of AI to spend via AI shopping experience and gains purpose.

It doesn't seem to me like any prompt could trigger a purchase directly. Of course this could change, but likely won't for the reasons you said.

Who do you imagine will be throwing money at all these side-hustle "make money with AI" business you envision? No doubt there will be a few- there already are a few- but as the market gets increasingly flooded with AI slop enterprise with very little value add, that well is going to dry up quick. It's not different than all those content creators making videos offering to teach you the secrets to easy money... instead of just making all that easy money themselves.
- dzink 1y agoAI can help people stuck with skills that are no longer useful to acquire new skills. The premise is AI driven re-qualification of talent towards fields that are needed and faster than any educational system can do at the moment. Nursing (the academic steps before practical skills can be learned in person somewhere), electrical engineering, entrepreneurship for people who may want to start that with a skill they already have, etc.
