This is totally CRAZY!!! So, A.I. is going to buy a bunch of stuff I don't need or want at over inflated prices. I'll just get a bunch of junk delivered to my door step that I don't want. Then I'll get to waste my time returning all of it. How do brain dead CEO's think this will even realistically work? This is just a corporate failure waiting to happen.
