Comment on Walmart says customers will soon be able to use ChatGPT to shop

Hopefully they also hook up the checkout operators.

While waiting for the operator at Walmart to find the 4 digit code for an uncommon vegetable, I asked ChatGPT if it could lookup the code and it failed (I'm guessing they are not published for commercial sensitivity reasons?).

PLU codes are in a database you can freely query from your phone. The only problem is that there are so many of them. Like 15+ just for a banana. Which one Walmart uses is up to Walmart.
