Youre oversimplifying a complex and interesting technical challenge just to dunk on amazon imo. It wasnt just 1000 Indians checking your receipt, it was 1000 Indians attempting to train an ai model (and ultimately failing)

i get that the idea of automating checkout cuts out cashier jobs, but this doesnt do it in a way that inconveniences everyone so its different from your typical self checkout

But as s0nicfan pointed out, if you actually wanted to train an AI model this would be an ineffective way of doing it.

There's a reason when this store was announced that no one mentioned "Oh for now we're still training it and everything will involve human intervention".
