    and then there will be a really popular AI driven phone app that you will use to scan items and find out if you’re being ripped off or not

      Sigh, no you don’t need a fucking AI app to do that.

      And you ARE being ripped off if you are dealing with a corporation, whether it’s the price, the quality, the quantity, the fine text, ect. You are getting fucked every single time.

      So please don’t be holding up the line and blocking aisles while your chatbot nanny tells tells you that everything in FUCK-YOU-LOL-MART™ is overpriced. Learn how underscan and shotplift like a normal person.

      I already have a browser plugin that tells me the price history of everything at Coles. There’s one for Woolies too.

      Not quite the same thing, but I used an LLM to cobble together a HTML file that allows me to search for products on Coles, Woolies, Aldi and Amazon at the same time in the same window (via frames and a Firefox extension to get around some security settings).

      Works a treat when planning our big shops for the week, and has already saved us hundreds of dollars since Jan.
