    Way ahead of them. I just buy stuff from other websites now without Amazon or AI involvement.

      Same.

      It’s amazing how much money our family has saved the past couple of months alone, just by deciding we won’t patronize Amazon and Target now (in addition to Walmart).

      This. Use Amazon to find the brand, and go to their website to buy directly. The seller website is the same price on the surface, but you can almost always get a coupon that’s cheaper than Amazon. (Amazon FBA charges like 30%)

      Same. At first it was hard to break the habit of just buying the first item that didn’t look fake off of Amazon, but you get used to it and I’m not second guessing my sanity that often. It might cost more, but it’s no marketplace dropshipping and I’m not impulse buying crap.

    I can’t even trust Alexa to buy stuff from Amazon. No way would I trust this to actually buy and pay for things for me

    Since this service is free, I expect Az is taxing the retailers somehow. Perhaps it’s something like the Honey scam.

    I’ll bet you can’t pay with an Az giftcard or credit balance.

      It’s not a scam. The retailers don’t care where the money comes from.

      It’s just a terrible terrible idea.

    So… Even more “automatic” ways to funnel ever more money into Bezos’ pockets…???

    Hell, no.

    Amazon and their Echo system can Fuck Right Off.

    Hmm could be a nice way to get the 5% cash back I get on aws/amazon via my business amex on other sites, depending on how the transaction is processed…

      And now Amazon will have more data points on you to sell to advertisers.

      Also fuck Amazon.
