AI shopping new method causes controversy

AI shopping’s new gameplay sparks controversy! Musk said that you can place an order by tapping your credit card, which was publicly ridiculed by OpenAI executives. Recently, Elon Musk publicly introduced the new shopping function of the Grok robot on social platforms. According to him, users only need to take a photo of their credit card and send it to the chat box, and Grok will automatically search and compare the best prices of the goods across the entire network, and then directly complete the order for the user. This highly disruptive and convenient shopping idea quickly triggered heated discussions in the technology community. However, the security risks of this feature immediately aroused doubts from peers. OpenAI executive Tibo later responded to this on social platforms and humorously posted a photo of a fictitious credit card to imply that this interactive method of directly taking photos of sensitive payment credentials and sending them to AI has huge security and privacy risks. At the same time, this new feature also encountered obstacles in the actual implementation process. Some netizens reported that some e-commerce giants (such as Amazon) have begun to take technical measures to prevent automated access to Grok. In response, Musk responded that Grok would look for other alternatives to complete the shopping process, and revealed that he had just successfully placed an order for a Lego brick from the Lego official website through Grok. This debate around the convenience and security boundaries of AI shopping not only reflects the fierce competition between major technology giants in the implementation of AI agents, but also once again brings the payment security and platform game to the forefront in the artificial intelligence era. via AI News (author: AI Base)
