The idea has been tried before and it failed because people don’t actually want this product at the scale the inventors thought. Amazon has never stopped doing this. Adding an element of indeterminism to the mix doesn’t make this a better product. Imagine what the LLM is going to hallucinate with your credit card attached.

As long as we have free returns, nobody cares.

The second someone has to deal with returning an item that an LLM hallucinated they needed is the second they cancel this service. The hassle of returning something vastly outweighs any perceived convenience of not having to buy toilet paper or whatever the next time you're at the grocery store. Hell, you can buy toilet paper in 10 seconds on your phone while sitting on the toilet from Amazon, and that's been possible for probably 15 years. What problem is this actually solving?

		That's not how it works. People often buy random crap because they know they can return it once it arrives if they don't like it. > Hell, you can buy toilet paper in 10 seconds on your phone while sitting on the toilet from Amazon "We don't need telephone, we have message boys"
