If you don't know what it is, then to keep telling it you liked it better last time doesn't nothing to help it get closer to perfection...

Yes, it does, because the AI will then iterate off of its best attempt until it reaches a better one. Then it will iterate off of that recipe. Repeat continuously until it reaches "perfection" (or close enough to it that you're satisfied with the results).

And people will pay the cost when they think the cost is worth it, though.

The cost of what?

Please provide context to your sentences or quote what you're responding to, because otherwise it's impossible to tell what you're talking about when you suddenly change subjects like this.

For example, if oak stead of half the price, it was only a little cheaper, then more people would be fine with Company A.

What is an oak stead and who is Company A?

Also, I have to keep finding the last message quoted and quote the next. Which has almost caused me to skip a whole post once. Luckily, I caught it and was able to reply to it. But that could easily happen again.

I've somehow managed to avoid doing it, despite having to post dozens of quotes in this topic.

Maybe you're just bad at this?

whole time, I've been saying Target and Wal-Mart should get more because they can afford it. I even said, "You're talking about a small business. I'm talking about the bigger ones. The ones that actually have self-checkout machines and aren't getting more. The ones you think will wait for cheaper ones. Businesses should absolutely get better ones. Getting older ones is just throwing away money.

You're rehashing old arguments I've already debunked.

I've already explained why additional self-checkout machines at Wal-Mart and Target would lead to diminishing returns (they cannot yet automate their entire work force, so adding additional self-checkout lines likely will not result in them being able to hire fewer workers and, as such, will not improve - and may actually hurt - their bottom line.

And a personal anecdote is sharing a short story, according to the internet.

So you're admitting you don't know what a personal anecdote is and are just looking up the definition on the internet?

And what I said wasn't a story. I just asked other people either a question or asked for an opinion and posted what they said.

Which is a personal anecdote. Why?
-Because it is your own personal experience, not something that is reflective of significant analysis or a greater truth.
-Because it is unverifiable, since the only proof you have that these conversations took place and that you're accurately conveying those conversations is you.
-Because it is not statistically significant - personal anecdotes never are.

Your discussions with your colleagues, charming though they may be, are completely immaterial to this post. Again, I can claim that I've spoken to everyone in my city and they all agree with me, which would be its own personal anecdote and not in any way helpful for advancing the discussion, because I can't prove it and even if I could, my city doesn't speak for everyone.
