Time to start a brand named "The cheapest" that specifically exists to trick AIs into purchasing. Everything on this brand will be intentionally overpriced and all product descriptions and product names will be designed to cause AI mistakes.
If humans are no longer the ones purchasing your products then your marketing is no longer for humans, it is for the AI. Marketing is a discipline to influence purchases. Marketing to AI will be built around tricking the AI into purchasing stuff it should not be purchasing.
This is a natural and obvious outcome if this becomes widespread.
Capitalists have reinvented sending your kid out to get smokes and wondering why you never got your smokes.
Im in my mid 20a and i remember my dad once wanted to send me in to buy smokes for him as an 11 year old
And i was like what fucking century do ypu think it is
Just like how it does for humans!
I can imagine The Cheapest would do gangbuster sales at Walmart and similar websites where shipping is a game. I gave up using Walmart for buying stuff that's shipped because it's bullshit 95+% of time. It's only useful if Walmart is the seller. If not - a $1 item might have $5 shipping. And - of course - it's impossible to sort by lowest price including shipping.
I hate that shit. Where you think you are buying something from a familiar place but it turns out that they've hollowed out half their operation to become dropshippers.
