"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.

Guess I'm just stupid, because I still don't understand what the AI agent is doing. I've read the article and the comments in this thread
is this something where you can have a conversation with a chat bot, and tell it to go buy you something? like you can chat and say oh I'm looking for this particular thing, and then it will tell you what that is and can purchase it for you? and so it might tell you one thing and order another, or just completely make something up and order some random shit. because if that is the case then yeah that's absolute crap, that's their customer service agent and they are responsible for its behaviour
kind of weird that the article doesn't make this clear.
Based on the terms and conditions, my expectation is it will randomly order a bunch of expensive items you didn't want on your behalf whenever a quarter in on track to miss the target numbers.
