That hard.

It's fairly annoying.
voice-verified
I prefer to have a link.

But at the end of the day, my personal revealed preference is I would almost always want it from Amazon because I trust it's going to get there.
voice-verified
I know where to go to look to see if it's on its way.
voice-verified
I know where to go to process a return if I want to do that.

When you introduce all these other pieces, you're actually introducing massive amounts of real-world friction just because you're too lazy to find a click over to the other browser and type in a search term.

So I think this idea that I want my agent to actually do it is going to force Amazon to bend.
voice-verified
I'm just skeptical because at the end of the day, Amazon –
voice-verified
not really consumer friendly.
voice-verified
Like they're like, they don't care.
voice-verified
And you like, you go to Amazon, it's all ads.
voice-verified
Like this is not a consumer friendly website.
voice-verified

voice-verified
It's like redesign the Amazon website.
voice-verified
It's like, oh, my.
voice-verified
So that's the case.
voice-verified
By the way, in the other one, the only real alternative to Amazon in terms of it's just going to have it and it's going to get there is Walmart.
voice-verified
And I was pretty optimistic when OpenAI did the checkout thing or whatever.
voice-verified
Yeah.
