"Just Walk Out" stores.............the future of shopping?

[The Duke]

Sure, I want to have a separate account for every place that I shop? Much easier to hand over the coin of the realm and be done with it. Why does a vendor require my name, phone number or any other personal or banking info.

They try to get all that at Lowe's, and I'm like "no, no, no, no,no".
They are absolute assholes with that. I'm not buying anywhere I can't pay cash at, they can get bent, IDGAF!

I keep saying AI is getting out of hand.


Every retail already has cameras and scanners and whatever other digitals.


With this 'just walk out'........they got your picture, and have scanned everything in your bag as you leave and then charged your bank account for it.

Even if you use cash, they still watchin you and how/what you shop, and if you use your card (credit or debit), they got your financials.

AI for cashiering, will also become shelf stockers, inventory controls, etc and eventually there is no need for humans at any point of the process........and that goes for all aspects of life, not just retail

If you use credit/debit, they know YOUR personal shopping habits as well. Its bad enough that you can't research a product on line without being inundated with ads for every fly-by-night producer in the country for that item.

Even if you use cash in public, it wouldn't take much more for AI to connect all your dots, to get your personal info. It just might take a little longer
