There was a Twitter post about great uses for AI but it's not being developed. The one I aligned with was scraping grocery store ads and creating a shopping list based on the best prices and personal preferences.
AI is solving problems for the business class. They are trying to stop paying people. AI has use cases to actually make our lives better but are antithetical to the capitalistic companies and would likely try to stop any AI use that undermines their bottom line.
I'm not sure how that's a useful thing besides convincing people to spend money on something they done need? Like, you either need a product at the grocery store or you don't. I don't need corpo bullshit ad bots to beg me to buy shit.
I don't think I explained it well.
I shop at 4, maybe 5, different grocery stores. Some products I have preferences whereas others I don't.
For example, say this is my grocery list for the week:
I want an AI to scrape every grocery store's weekly ad or their website along with any coupons that are available, and determine the best price and, based on patterns of sales, what I should wait on and what time of day I should shop.
I got what you were saying, it's just not something I can imagine ever caring that much about. Either I need a notebook or I don't. I'm out of grapes and want some or I don't. I don't need a shoddy piece of software to tell me any of those things. And attempting to micro optimize for sale events? Like, this just isn't a sensible way to live your life.
You have failed to understand it AGAIN. Good job failing.
It does NOT tell you what the list is. Period. Stop assuming it will advertise to you. You are repeatedly describing how you have FAILED to understand what it'd even be attempting...
Nobody said it made the list for you. The idea was moronic that it would tell you when to get these things. Which is idiotic because YOU ALREADY NEED IT.
If you relied on shitty software less your reading comprehension would be better.
