I mean, the only thing I buy online is plane tickets. And I really hate buying plane tickets. At my work I have to go through a travel agency, and I do like sending them an email which is I have to be in this place in the period X with 2/3 days flexibility. I want to get there before hour X and I want to be sleeping near this place. Then they reply with 3/4 options of which I choose one.

If the AI was able to do that and I don't have to check all possible flights and all the fares and which one is cheap and so on... I'm cool with that.

Besides that, I doubt AI will be able to buy pants from homeless people I cross in the streets.
