my favourite so far is volvo.

"hey ai, any good deals nearby?"

"there's a tv on sale at a nearby electronics store"

"will it fit in the boot?"

"yes"

"nice, plot me a route there"

...like the kind of person exists that impulse buys a tv.

    Such a great example of the C O N S U M E mindset. Does the TV have the features the person wants? Is it the right size or is taking it home all that matters? Is a deal better than the regular list price for a TV that does what they need?

    Nope, just 'can I spend money'?

    There's absolutely a kind of person that does that. My ex's father bought three vacuum cleaners because they were on a good sale and he figured someone he knew would need a vacuum eventually.
