I just don't understand the use case for this. Surely, the most common items that people buy are the things they've already bought, and any online store worth their salt already has a page where you can easily add all that shit to your cart with a few button clicks, or even set up recurring purchases. For the one-offs, how long does it really take to buy them that you'd let a stochastic parrot roll the dice? If your time were actually so valuable that you couldn't spare the two minutes, you'd have a real personal assistant who could do that for you without accidentally buying $1000 of toothpaste or whatever.
The use case is putting AI in a new thing and getting billions of dollars of investment money for it. It doesn't matter if it's logical or makes sense.
