You are broke, with no prospects and last hundred bucks in your account.

You show up at a macdonalds, hungry.

The AI reads you and decides - nothing to be had from this hungry guy in the future and prices your last burger at 100.

Excellent future.

...which is exactly the opposite how a rational "surveillance pricing" would work. Economics 101 would dictate you price based on willingness to pay, and if you only got $3 in your pocket, they would charge $3 (or whatever the break-even price is).
