- A new chatgpt shopping experience is launched for all users
- The first users expressed their dissatisfaction with the new recommendations
- Comparisons are being prepared for the concept of “Tales” by Corey Doctrow
According to a new Reddit wire, some users are not satisfied with the new purchase features which are integrated into the chatgpt and take place now.
New features facilitate the research and purchase of online consumer products using the chatgpt search function combined with its rich invites in natural language.
The user of Reddit “ Kjfitz ”, who started the thread, entitled it “Insistification has arrived” in reference to the infamous neologism defended by Cory Doctow in a trial of 2022 on Amazon, which is generally used to describe how commercial pressures cause the experience of monetization like Amazon, Google and Facebook to gradually deteriorate over time monetization added.
The “obstacle” has arrived from R / Chatgpt
“I asked Chatgpt for the impact of current rates on stocks in the coming months. He has returned a long list of links to toiletries that I could want to buy,” KJFITZ said. “I asked him why it did this. He replied:
“As of April 28, 2025, Openai introduced new chatgpt shopping features, improving its capacities to provide product recommendations with images, criticism and direct purchase links. Price, product descriptions and opinions.
“This update aims to offer a more personalized and rationalized purchasing experience directly in the chatgpt interface, allowing users to explore products in various categories such as fashion, beauty, electronics and home items. If you have specific preferences or tailor -made recommendations, do not hesitate to let me know!”
Other Reddit users quickly expressed their dissatisfaction with the new features. In reference to the opinion that “the recommendations are generated in an organic way, without paid advertisements or incentives based on the commission”, commented Crystalline ‘, “I give it less than six months before these changes.”
“Good god. Imagine that people use Chatppt for mental health advice and it is starting to say “Do you know what was going to repair your relationship with your children?” Go to Allstate, “said Reddit ‘user’ Rosencranberry ‘.
Progressive deterioration
In 2024, the Macquarie dictionary, the National Dictionary of Australia, chose “inspiration” as a word of the year, describing it as “the progressive deterioration of a service or a product caused by a reduction in the quality of the service provided, in particular of an online platform, and as a consequence of profits.”
It should be noted that there is currently no paid advertising or sponsored links attached to one of the purchase features of Chatgpt; However, there is nothing to prevent this to be added in the future.
We are still at the beginning of the purchase features added to the chatbots, and the perplexity of the AI search engine has already done breakthrough in the addition of purchase features, but this is the first time that electronic commerce features have been added to Chargpt search.
“We will continue to bring the merchants along our trips while we learn quickly and iteration,” said Openai commenting on the launch of new features yesterday.
