I'm yet to task ChatGPT with taking over some of my online shopping, and that's for two very good reasons. First, ChatGPT Operator, the only AI agent that might come close to shopping for anything on my behalf right now, is only available to ChatGPT Pro users, which is the $200/month AI subscription I can't justify paying for.
More importantly, I'm not ready to hand over my payment data to the AI or trust that ChatGPT will follow my instructions correctly. I'm more likely to ask Operator to browse the web for the things I need, then handle the final steps myself, payment included.
That said, I am aware that Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal have already announced credit card tech designed to keep payment credentials safe in the age of AI shopping. That's one piece of the puzzle we need before we can fully trust AIs with our shopping needs.
It now looks like shopping giants like Walmart are preparing for the inevitable rise of AI agents doing the shopping, which is another important step for easing concerns about AI and online shopping.
One reason I'm not ready to trust AI with something as simple as a grocery list is that AI can hallucinate information. What if it makes a mistake? Online stores preparing their platforms to be more AI-friendly could help reduce that risk.
