    1. This is going to be spectacular when the house of cards comes falling down.

      Everybody’s trying to AI their way out of a fundamental problem in consumer spend.

    2. “For example, customers can ask ChatGPT: “Help me plan a holiday movie night.” Customers will then be able to access Target’s assortment right on the AI platform and add items to their cart based on the recommendations ChatGPT provides. When customers are ready to purchase items from the cart, users will be taken the Target app.”

      This is how Target will become profitable? 😂

      The OpenAI that was asking for government bailouts? The one that was “being financially creative”? Oh… Good luck… Maybe I’ll short this train wreck.

    4. These companies are fucking retarded. Even if there is a wide sqwath of people asking ChatGPT what Target has for sale, there is no way that’s easier or more trustworthy than just going to, say, [target.com](http://target.com) or fucking Amazon. You’re all retarded and wasting money that you should be putting into repairing toilets and making your models less fake-happy. Christ, I dislike Target. I’d almost rather shop at Walmart… that place is authentically shit at least.

      Must need its stock price to go up. It’s only a matter of time until people stop buying this nonsense.

      lol. This’ll be interesting how this is justified to shareholders.

      “Expect More. Circle Jerk.”

      The jig is up we’re in a recession the media is doing everything to manipulate and make it seem like everything is fine

    9. All we need now is AI to be paired up with the mortgage market to ensure the largest blast radius possible when it goes supernova.

      Are you serious? A few more ridiculous tie up with AI then we will mark the peak bubble

    11. “Announced partnership”

      “Will invest in”

      OpenAI

      ….

      A bit late Target. That used to get you an instant +30%

      Now everyone is seeing its bullshit

    12. I’m really interested in seeing how this plays out. I also wonder how easy it was for the consultant to convince the executives that rubbing AI on their problems was going to magically generate sales.

    13. This just in. I’m partnering with OpenAI to get me out of the reproductive slump cycle I’ve been in. My forward guidance, especially combined with their new SexbotGPT 6.9, calls for a much anticipated uptick in our quarterly activity.

    14. Target: Let’s spend money on AI to figure out why our customers don’t have money!

      Brilliant!

    15. Well if I had to take a wild guess…their sales slumped because they didnt realize just how popular Target is in the black community.

      I still shop there on occasion because my CVS is inside of my local Target and it’s also down the street from my apartment, so i can get some quick shopping done if i dont want to go far from home.

      Theres one demographic that is noticeably not in the store as much. I can count on my hands how many black people are there…including myself.

      I personally used to get all of my black haircare products from Target. When they first introduced their black haircare section years ago, I stopped going to beauty supply stores and shopped exclusively at Target. Now, I just buy the products directly from the companies. IMO…this was their bread and butter with black women.

      I used to go in that aisle in Target and see several people there also shopping…now its empty and the products are just sitting there.

      They really really fucked up.
