am i the weird one here? before i got divorced, buying 10-20 bags of groceries for a family of 2 kids, 2 adults and a large dog doesnt seem unusual to stock up for 2 weeks...especially during covid when everyone was home all the time.
Well two weeks instead of one week is a significant difference. If you can't get a week's groceries at once, that's somewhat annoying. If you can't get two week's at once, that doesn't matter much.

So all these companies pointing to AI as the future, citing companies like Amazon using it to track groceries and not needing a cashier as the computer can just figure out what someone picked up. It turns out AI really means a bunch of barely paid people in India watching camera footage and marking what a person bought. The real innovation was finding a way to trick people into accepting outsourcing human face to face interaction
Let's not exaggerate in the other way. It was mostly automated but not enough, as a lot of AI stuff is.

you can extend the fridge life of your produce a lot if you know proper storage methods. some veggies like to be airtight in jars, maybe with a bit of paper towel to wick up moisture, others like to be wrapped loosely in foil to breathe, and so on

An AI that will photograph all vegetables I toss in the fridge and tell me how to wrap them. It'll just riff off the top 5 google results and will eventually kill someone but I will have sold the IPO by then.

Uh, no. From Amazon's own mouth, 700 or 800 out of 1000 transactions had to be manually confirmed, i.e. done by a person, and that figure is just what the system itself caught.

AI is entirely a scam propped up by highly exploited labor from the global south, and I can't see why anyone would see it any other way except for ignorance, malice, or indifference.

India is north of Equator, and we all know AI stands for "Actually Indians"
But yes, you are correct.

The "Global South" is distinct from "Southern Hemisphere" although I agree it's a bit misleading
