They can simply count which products are being sold more / run out of stock more quickly.
(But I get that they probably bought into the hype of AI)
It doesn't store your personal face but it can detect what you are most interested in buying giving corporations better data on how products should be priced. I still think it's gross
So grimace and recoil in horror at everything, got it
More importantly, it gives them demographic information (sex, age, race, etc). Can’t get that from just sales figures.
Get that good surge pricing going for everything.
You look drunk? Prices go up 30% while they flash booze ads at you.
Stoned? Cheetos are 250%. Two giddy teenagers looking for condoms? Price them sky high motherfucker!!
Don't give them any ideas...
The company apparently uses AI to process faces to determine gender, approximate age and mood in order to try and figure out which products the person might want.
I learned this while trying to find tech specs for uhhh… research purposes.
