CALLING ALL SUCKERS! Google wants their awful AI to take over your
holiday shopping. JUST SAY NO! I love the part where they claim that
in the background their AI will calls stores to check on stock
availability. Ever tried that yourself these days? GOOD FRIGGING LUCK
getting off hold or an accurate answer. Oh yeah, let Gemini AI make
purchases for you ... if you don't mind spending hours trying to get
refunds when their AI runs amok with your payment method. AGAIN, JUST
SAY NO! - https://blog.google/products/shopping/agentic-checkout-holiday-ai-shopping/
