UPDATE: OpenAI has just launched a groundbreaking upgrade to ChatGPT, introducing a new AI shopping tool that aims to revolutionize the way consumers hunt for Black Friday deals. As shoppers gear up for the biggest shopping event of the year, TechRadar’s AI Senior Writer has tested this tool to see if it can match the expertise of human deal hunters.
With Black Friday rapidly approaching on November 24, 2023, consumers are on the lookout for the best discounts. The newly rolled out ChatGPT shopping research tool promises to streamline this process. The AI aims to simplify product searches and provide tailored recommendations, but can it truly compete with human-generated buying guides?
In a test conducted earlier today, the writer prompted ChatGPT with a simple request: “AirPods Black Friday deals.” Within two minutes, the AI queried for user preferences, such as price range and model interest, and delivered a comprehensive shopping guide featuring key discounts in the UK. The results were impressive, but the writer sought to explore further.
Next, the AI was tasked with finding a deal on a dual-chamber air fryer, preferably made by Ninja. This time, the response took seven minutes, yielding only two options despite numerous deals available on TechRadar’s curated list. While the experience was generally positive, the AI’s limited output raised concerns about its reliability.
The writer emphasized that while ChatGPT’s shopping research tool is a valuable resource, it does not replace the meticulous efforts of human journalists, who rigorously verify prices and product quality. “99% isn’t good enough,” the writer warns, highlighting the risks of relying solely on AI for deal-hunting.
As we dive into the heart of Black Friday shopping, it’s crucial for consumers to balance AI assistance with human expertise. The AI tool can facilitate quick comparisons, but for the best savings and product assurance, shoppers should still turn to trusted sources like TechRadar.
For those eager to snag the best deals today, here are some of the hottest discounts available:
– Amazon: Up to 66% off tech & essentials
– Apple: iPads, AirPods & MacBooks from $119
– Best Buy: Up to $1,000 off TVs, laptops & headphones
