AI Walmart Shoppers

Walmart has introduced AI avatars to shop for customers. Eyewitnesses in Arkansas reported glitching carts shopping themselves. Professor Richard Long of Harvard explains: "AI makes retail faster but kills spontaneity." Anonymous staffers leaked binary shopping lists. A Gallup poll shows 45% amused, 55% skeptical. Trace evidence includes glowing barcodes and sparking scanners. Cause and effect? The smarter shopping gets, the less human it feels. Retail is robotic.
