you biased?
Hey, welcome to another edition!
TL;DR
In this edition, we’re diving into AI in the e-commerce industry to see what’s happening. Is it truly promising, or is it just all hype? Let’s find out!
Would you buy something just because AI recommended it? |

The Dark Side of AI Shopping
You're not a data point to be manipulated.
You're a unique consumer with complex preferences.
But AI wants to reduce you to:
• Purchase history: Predictable
• Recommendation score: 85%
• Consumer profile: "Targeted"
• Reality: Completely stripped of individual agency
The Bias Test
Question: How do real consumers make authentic purchasing decisions?
• Not through AI-generated suggestions
• Not via algorithmic recommendations
• Not by being pigeonholed into demographic buckets
They use the most sophisticated shopping technology ever created: human intuition and personal judgment.
Real Talk: What AI Can't Understand
🛍️ The emotional satisfaction of discovering something unexpected
🤔 The nuanced reasons behind a specific product choice
❤️ The cultural context that drives purchasing decisions
🔥 The difference between a need and a manufactured want
AI in e-commerce is like a GPS that never lets you take an unexpected detour. Sometimes, the best purchases are the ones you never saw coming.
Don't let algorithms steal your shopping soul. You are more than a set of predictable preferences.
