Why are we assuming that shopping agents are going to be using the model that is easiest to fall for prompt injections? Only testing a year old, small model is going to lead to a misleading conclusion.
The provided example is really bad and ignores why customer service is sometimes a good idea. I guess it's been so bad and corrupted by disingenuous marketing for so long that people have forgotten.
Suppose you need to buy some stuff for an upcoming project or vacation, but don't want to go down a research rabbit hole for the next hour(s) to cure your ignorance. Suppose you don't even want to have a conversation with the AI. You just want it to build a shopping cart. At most, hopefully, your effort is just pruning the cart before placing the order (if even that).

Instead of scrolling through endless online stores, comparing reviews, checking size charts, and hunting for discount codes, you tell your AI shopping agent what you're looking for — and it takes care of the rest.
Why would they AI slop this?
Is this supposed to be ironic and I’m missing the joke?
If it takes you less time to ‘write’ something than it does to read, I’m not reading it.
> The demo uses Claude Haiku rather than newer models like Opus or Fable. This is because I'm assuming that shopping agents of the future won't use newer, more expensive models, even though they're more reliable and secure. I suspect it'll come down to cutting costs, and using a cheaper model is one of the easiest ways to save money.
Stopped reading here. Author has little idea of the industry.

Author doesn’t understand cost dynamics of the industry - that prices keep falling.
Author also needs to make a point, and can’t do so if they are using a powerful model.
But what I'm more curious about is why you'd need to give shopping instructions to an AI in the first place.
