There are lots of failures. I have seen people with way too much faith in AI. But, I use it everyday and it makes me way, way more efficient. It also makes me lazy because I can ask it to do things that I am just too lazy to do on my calculator. I wrote a complex software application in 2 days that it took somebody else 6 months to do and it was better and cleaner.
Something striking about Amazon's "Just Walk Out" that I haven't seen mentioned. It demonstrated the possbility of remote work in frontline retail. The actual exercise was an exploitaitve fiasco, but it is at least conceivable that a store could be organised on this basis, with properly paid remote assistants, who could answer questions and handle sales.

Okay, so we've established that it's too expensive to be profitable, how long will it take THEM to figure that out?
