Reminds me of the Amazon Fresh “just walk out” grocery shopping experience where the store is packed with cameras monitored by “advanced ai” that would tally up the total of the items in your cart.
It would take a few hours for them to email a receipt to let you know what you’d spent and the advanced ai turned out to be low-wage workers in India watching the video feeds.
I mean I’ve never used one of those but I also wouldn’t care how it got done if I did. Just that I didn’t have to spend my time waiting in line to check out. Actually prefer them to pay money to real people rather than invent some fancy technology.

That’s true, I don’t mind people being paid at all. I’d rather that than some dodgy AI.
I still found it funny that Amazon was implying this was some kind of technology marvel when it really just boiled down to webcams.
Oh it is funny haha
