What I DO want...

...is AI that anticipates what groceries I'm running low on...✔

Search every flier and website in my city to find the best price....✔

Compile a weekly list based on best deals per fewer stops...✔

What I DO NOT want is AI that will make a picture of me if I were an astronaut....❌

Ya know, that would be a good use of AI. Practical everyday stuff to improve life.

The only issue with "Search every flier and website in my city to find the best price" is that some companies would pay to have THEIR listings at the top.

All this talk about "targeted ads" and yet the majority of ads are the same for everyone. It is hard to believe that most youtube watchers are shopping for insurance.

@HoeBag Your thinker is consistently fabulous! 🤣

So true. I never knew bout' targeting advertisements till a pregnant neighbor showed me the Target flier she got in the mail the same day I did.

Hers was full of baby stuff...mine was not.

@Punxi The thing I buy regularly and most obsessed with, I never get ads for.

@HoeBag Shit! I'm thinkinits all tied to a credit or store specific credit card.

They see your purchases last week, know your address an boom!

@Punxi Well, I use cash as much as possible, and most of my purchases are from Ebay or thrift stores. I thought maybe since I shop Goodwill a lot, they figured I wasn't even worth wasting ads on.

I asked ChatGPT from da 'hood and it responded -

Ain't nobody got time to be throwin' ads at some funky ol h0ebag who be shopping at some n4sty ol thrift stores and be buying clothes that been on other coochies or got got some b00b sweat. Cheap-4ss h0e!

Punxi I tell ya, I was THIS close to laying dowm a verbal 4ss whoopin on that chat bot.
If it had called my daughter-in-law a h00chie mamma, oh it would have been ON (even though she is 😄 )

@HoeBag 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for makin' that happen.

Fyi...I shop at thrift stores too. 🤣

@Punxi BTW, I say that jokngly with my DIL. Kind of goth-ish.
One time we were all about to go somewhere and she looks at my and said, "Do I look like a h00chie mamma? :D" I said, "the biggest!"

But yeah thrift is the way to go. Sometimes things are over-priced and junk but most of it is in good shape and you cannot beat the prices.

You get this little "rush" when you find something really good for only a few bucks.

@HoeBag Shes lucky to have ya.

A rush I've experienced first hand. I bought and carry daily a Coach purse I bought at a St. Vincent Depaul thrift store for 30$

Cant begin to list the number of books...
