I assume a lot of companies want in on the AI-to-purchase pipeline. "Hey [AI] what kind of car is this?" with a response that helps you buy it at the very high end, or something as simple as "hey [AI] I need more bread, it's [brand and type]" and who it gets purchased from and how it shows up is the... bread and butter of the AI company.

Super intelligent AI seems contrary to the goals of consumerist Capitalism, but maybe I'm just not smart enough to see the play there.




I think what companies want is to replace as many human employees as possible. I don't think they really care what the consequences of that are.
