I have been wondering the same thing myself. I manage google ads for a living and I don't understand why I still have a job.

Personally I use AI chatbots to help me make every purchase decision I have to think about.

How do you find the place to buy the thing you're looking for?

I just tried asking ChatGPT where to buy a backpack I'm looking for and it just... did a search. It would have been considerably faster to just do the search myself instead of wade through the slop about how "This backpack is hard to find in stock, you'll need to buy it directly from the brand yada yada yada".
