>inb4 seething
I only buy used goods.
>>522524652Over what? Wooooow everything got more expensive and the corperations made more profit? So unpredictable!
>>522524785sorry but I called inb4 lmao
>>522524608Shopping online is safe from Muslims and niggers.
>>522524608Is that just a word salad? How does AI involve shopping?
>>522524608Shouldn't every year be record breaking sales?
>>522524608There are mountains of videos online showing black friday stores were empty.
>>522525100As long as the public has record amounts of money to spend, and is willing to take on record amounts of debt
>>522525036You can ask them to scan for deals on xyz. My mother asked 'em for the best deal on moving totes and did actually end up getting pointed to what seemed like the best deal my manual searches found, only with a tenth the effort (like 6.50 for the black and yellow home depot ones, ended up grabbing a dozen for 90bux)
>>522524608>Give AI bank account >Let it shop>Record salesWho knew machines could be greedy. I'm sure it wasn't (((made))) to do it.
>>522524608AI couldn't find me shit
>>522524740>game genieWew, that takes me back.I remember mine always looked really fucked up and the the letters on the code entry screen were always fucked up and only partially there.
>>522525279Correct but shouldn't that be what is expected?
>>522525669That's how it works until people can't make their payments and lose their homes, vehicles and access to cheap credit
>>522524608>Mobile shopping and Buy Now, Pay Later services fueled strong growth.yeah, it's because mobile shopping is more popular. people are still learning how to use there phones. Good god adaptation is really this slow? It took phones being how expensive for this?
The fact that people are willing using AI proves how far of course we are as a society.
>>522527047Don't be fooled. it's only because the Ai "tools" are front and center. already built into everything so you have to go out of your way to not use it to shop.
>>522525669Not when inflation outpaces wage growth
I spent 0.News of this is still going to make me spend 0.The overspending is the result of people feeling FOMO that prices are going to skyrocket which means spending in the next few years will be abysmal.Feels good knowing psyops don't work on me.
>>522524608Everything feels like a ripoff. Under consumption and forcing grifters to make products that last is how you save civilization.
>>522524608How does AI boost sales?
>>522528618Searches for sales, and probably also interfaces with certain stores for targeted discounts. Jenny looked for dildos last week? Well her AI assistant just so happens to have found a 20% off from Amazon for the biggest, blackest cervix smasher it can find. Given how much it's integrated, I'd bet that some of them also just apply sales to whatever you happen to search for on their site.
>>522529541Oh, and more and more have been actually creating products out of thin air based on the data they scour. It's been proven that if you leave a comment along the lines of "I wish I could have this on a shirt!", there are trackers that will download whatever you're looking at, put it up for sale at a print-on-demand t-shirt site, then pay facebook to advertise it to as close to your demographic as they can get, which usually results in it popping up on your feed within a couple days, if not hours, if not minutes.
>>522524608AI got in my way. I closed every window trying to get me to use it.
