I work for a supermarket that's recently rolled out AI chatbots to "help" customers find items in store instead of asking staff. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

The idea being it reduces the number of staff needed to run the store because now we can restock shelves uninterrupted.

Of course, that's not what's happening. Instead of being asked where our canned mushrooms are, we're now being asked where aisle 31 is, and we're having to take extra time to find out what their actual question is.

Because there are only 14 aisles in the store.

Oh, and I actually like being asked where stuff is, because it breaks up the monotony of bringing out rollcomp, rotating, stocking, facing up, putting back rollcomp, repeat until lunch.

Also, Google turns out seriously shitty answers nowadays, and the sponsored keyword ads are more irrelevant than ever.

Ironically its not even good at finding things to buy. I was trying to find a aur fryer recommendation but all the top sites were toxic and no review sites near the top.

The thing I'm not allowed to say instore: You probably don't want an air fryer. You probably want a convection oven. The technology is exactly the same but a convection oven is larger, giving you more versatility. (edit: Of the products that we sell,) The gold standard is a combi oven. Get some half-decent microwave-safe cookware such as Pyrex, no need to splash out on the premium brands.

I mean you are not wrong. It's just that my ovens oven is dead. So I figure I really need something half the size/cost of a oven.
