Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.

I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM's. It's going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying "hey use me i'm better than google!!"

Frustrating.

Ok, but how much are people willing to pay an "AI" to find sneakers?

How long can "AI" grifters dump money/resources into these free services?

If "normal people" had to pay the actual costs, I'm sure that many of them would look for their own sneakers.

Personally I don't need/want a machine to pick my shoes for me in the first place.

Anyway I guess my wider point is that people will stop using "AI" so much when they actually have to pay for it.

People do not pay for online services they're used to getting for free. That means there'll always be free LLMs available, but as a result of cost considerations will be even worse than what we have today.
