Amazon’s AI Shopping Tool – Because You Clearly Need More Crap

So apparently, those clever bastards at Amazon have decided that you’re too dim to know *why* you’re buying their endless parade of plastic trash, so they’ve made a shiny new AI shopping tool that tells you exactly why you should open your wallet and hand over your soul. Yep, the retail behemoth’s latest “innovation” uses artificial intelligence to explain the deep, philosophical reasons you *need* that Bluetooth-enabled juicer or that Wi-Fi toilet seat. Because god forbid you hesitate before clicking “Buy Now.”

The system supposedly “justifies” recommendations by spewing out little nuggets of reasoning like, “Customers love this product for its durability and value” — as if that’s going to make your impulse purchase any less idiotic. The AI does its best to convince you that it’s *helping* you make an informed decision while it’s really just another digital salesman designed to make Bezos’ yacht a few feet longer.

In short, Amazon’s new AI doesn’t just push you to buy crap — it actually argues with you about why you should. Next thing you know, it’ll start guilt-tripping you for not buying Prime subscriptions for your pets. The future’s bright, people… bright and blinking with purchase notifications.

If you’re into that sort of digital consumer manipulation, knock yourself out reading the full article here:

Amazon’s new AI shopping tool tells you why you should buy a recommended product

Last time I saw AI trying to be “helpful,” it recommended I buy a surge protector right after I fried a rack server with my coffee. Too late for that, you silicon bastard.
