Pichai, you fucking banchode.
This dystopia is terrible.
Next: AI knows your income level so it automatically raises prices to match.
Then: someone comes up with an income spoofing service for shopping. For a fee, of course.
Then: you have to add an income verification to browse internet shopping.
All of that is already in play and more.
They know your income, spending habits, outstanding credit balances, browsing history, etc. They know if you are employed, had a child, had a divorce or death in the family. They know your health and how active you are.
With all that data, AI knows what you are willing to spend on an item or service.
There are HR services that use AI to look at all of this meta data to determine how desperate you are for a job and how low they can offer a salary/wage.
You’re the product.
They want one giant walled internet that is nothing more than a giant company town. You own nothing. Every dollar you earn is consumed by the system that knows how much it can take.
Oh look, they finally found a way to make AI profitable! (It’s just scamming people again)
Google discovering that AI search may quietly steer shoppers toward higher prices is a fun twist: first search results became ads, then ads became recommendations, and now recommendations apparently have a concierge fee. At this rate, AI powered shopping just means your wallet gets the hallucination.
This isn’t just google; it’s a new grift using the internet overall. I look something up online at the grocery store website, they put a lot of focus on you should order online and pick it up. I go to the store and it’s cheaper than the online price for the same store. We’re all getting played.
One more reason to get off the net.
They didn’t expect this one weird trick!
Q: How can people find the lowest $/unit on groceries and not spend so much?
