    The cheapest way to get groceries in the States has always been do all your grocery shopping in the same store, preferably a discount store like an Aldi, instead of cutting coupons and going to multiple different stores due to the simple fact that the gasoline used for driving around is most likely going to cancel out any saving from shopping around, an unfortunate side effect of America’s car centric infrastructure.

    You don’t really need an AI to make this list, plus, I think there are apps that already trying to do exactly that.

    However, getting a computer to draw yourself in ridiculous situations (usually with an equally ridiculous number of fingers) is great entertainment.

    You don’t need “AI” for that. All you would need is some standardized APIs for the various shops, and you could easily solve this with computer technology from 20 years ago.

      Stores: “I’m going to stop you right there”

      The reality is, though, that there are no such APIs. LLMs on the other hand could be a valid tool for the use case.

    And it’s a service because AI

    And the service costs a subscription fee

    And the service quality drops once it saturates the market

    And the service now contains ads

    And the grocery stores can pay to promote their store when it is not the most affordable option

    And now it’s not economically feasible to not use their service
