"AI", LOL.

Imagine an LLM is tasked by an "AI" company to run a actual physical vending machine shop at their own office?
How do you think that would go?

"Not well", you say?
Oooh, much worse than that.

Like when it lied about having made plans with someone at a real company but that person doesn't exist which they pointed out, so it threatened to replace that company as supplier and claimed to have gone "in person" to sign a contract regarding that... at the Simpsons cartoon family's house,
or another time it was unrequested offered a 567% markup for selling some soft drinks (its job) but it just didn't,
or...

...even worse.

Can AI run a physical shop? Anthropic’s Claude tried and the results were gloriously, hilariously bad
