Enjoy it while it lasts.
The pressure to turn on the money faucet is very real, and as soon as they do, the AI shopping experiences are going to just mean “run an auction and steer the user to the highest bidder”. Like how Amazon, google, etc all have been doing it for ages. It’s way too profitable for them to ignore.
As long as the trillion-dollar machine can continue to provide useful male fashion advice, then I don't really care if there's a bidding war over my attention going on behind the scenes.
A look at Amazon’s search results says it very much won’t continue to provide useful advice, no.
Maybe this’ll be the first tech product category that avoids enshittification, but I’m not holding my breath.
