The bigger shift is that AI may not just help us find products,it may start influencing what we actually buy. Instead of comparing 20 products ourselves, we could simply tell AI what we need, our budget, and what matters to us, then trust it to narrow things down.

But I don’t think traditional shopping will disappear completely. Sometimes we still want to browse, see the product for ourselves, and make that final choice. AI might become the shortcut, not the entire shopping experience.
