Hear me out. I'm excited about this if it means making shopping better. I want a better shopping assistant. I want someone to do all the work for me (read reviews, do product spec comparisons, price, shipping etc) and just tell me what to buy for 85% of things I purchase online. ChatGPT has this potential, but sucks at it. I'm probably going to buy it on Amazon. Work together and it'll be magic for me.

What makes you think ChatGPT will serve you, and not Amazon?
