Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.

I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM's. It's going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying "hey use me i'm better than google!!"

Frustrating.

This isn't so dystopian if open-weight LLMs keep their momentum. Hosts for models become commodities, not brands to capture users, if anyone can host them, and it gives each host less power for extortion.
