  It’s funny because that data is not lost.

    … What are they?

    At this stage I need to ask a chatbot about what is expensive, but emberassing to buy.

      I would imagine that a Godzilla sized sexdoll, in Godzilla’s likeness would be pretty expensive.

      a specific style of a fem biology steel chastity belt comes to mind first

      it’s hard to find fem biology chastity belts in the first place, and if you want one that isn’t clunky? either pay an actual fortune for one from a western online store (probably a german one) or gamble your money and try to get one from a chinese retailer with 0 reviews and little media presence but significantly cheaper. another actually valid alternative is using that money to sign up for a blacksmithing course and just forge one yourself because fuck €400 is the cheapest price for 8 pieces of metal and some wires??? (a shady chinese retailer will [probably] get you one for €100, or they might take the money and disappear forever)

  I suspect most people had rather not engage with anything when shopping for products they’re embarrassed to be seen buying. If they’re in a position where they have no choice but to have interactive contact (can’t imagine why, unless dealing with some unusual allergies and needing to confirm what’s in the product), they probably think the chatbot is less likely to judge them, which is . . . not entirely untrue. It just leaves out the issue of a human possibly reading the chat transcript afterwards.

  So they want to go through one more party, that will collect and sell information about you purchase

  I personally want a sales rep that has used the product. I want them to know how it felt the first time it was inserted as well as the hundredth time. How else will you know whats quality. How does it hold up when seated and how well when spanked. These are important things!

  I’m a very anxious person and I kinda liked the Taco Bell AI drive thru thing specifically because it was way less pressure even if it was annoying. There’s plenty of other stuff I simply won’t buy because I don’t want it enough to overcome my anxiety.

  If the chatbots are reliable, I’d much prefer them in most shopping scenarios. So this makes sense to me.

  I don’t. The local sex shop workers are cool in a way Sam Altman is the antithesis of.

  But how can you know it’s chatbot and not just a human pretending to be a bot?

    As long as the illusion is there I don’t think it makes a difference
