I have been using Amazon as a shopping search engine for a while now, don't actually buy it though. This is a new and extremely valuable search feature. Clearly I want a foot on a chair. Good job ai, good job

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Nothing smells more like a bubble when a feature like this makes it out to production. They probably worked on 10 other ideas, and this is what they thought was the best one.
You know one of those other 10 ideas was a button for 'let the AI decide what to buy for me', and they would have done it, but it went horribly, horribly wrong in testing. Like, you'd search for "cheese knives" and click the button, and then it would buy 50 gallons of Nacho Cheese and an electric knife sharpener.
