      You could train it to analyze sales tactics for different categories of items or even for specific items, then offer the AI’s conclusions as an ‘AI assistant’ locked behind a paywall.

      Plenty of use cases for collecting e-commerce data.

      Thanks for making my point. People don’t understand and therefore can’t consent and therefore it isn’t ethically sourced data.

        Mate, supercilious comments like this also do not help. They make you look a raging boy crying wolf.

        “Ah yes someone expressed incredility at the viability of the business practice in this instance. I must tell them they are the problem.”

        I mean you had a chance to point out the issues in depth handed to you on a fuckin’ plate but instead you chose to jam your head up your own butt.
