    At this p;oint if I go to a site and they have an “AI Chat Assistant!” pop up I send them a “support” message telling them that I will not be purchasing from people who contributes to the bubble that is driving up costs for components.

    I just did that for an MP3 player, why the everloving frak they need an AI assistant to give me a “compare” feature that’s been on commercial sites for decades…

      A bit off topic, but what sort of mp3 player? It crossed my mind a few times that I should get one again.

        Why would you want the mp3 player they are talking about? If they cant even shell out for decent web dev, why would the hardware be any less cheap…

          They could be looking for what features the other poster is looking for specifically that they might not have thought about. Take advantage of the time someone else has put into researching options. No need to do the same research again.

          They also could want to know the brand doing that to avoid them.
