In a world where technology is constantly evolving, Amazon's 'Just Walk Out' technology was hailed as a groundbreaking innovation. Imagine strolling through an Amazon Fresh grocery store, placing items into your cart, and walking out without ever needing to interact with a cashier. This futuristic shopping experience, powered by sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI), promised to revolutionize retail. However, the reality behind this cutting-edge system is far from the high-tech fantasy it was marketed as.

Danny Gonzal**, in his latest YouTube video titled "Tech Products That Should Not Exist," unveils the startling truth behind Amazon's cashierless stores. While Amazon promoted its 'Just Walk Out' technology as an AI marvel, it turns out that the system heavily relies on human intervention. Specifically, 1,000 workers in India are tasked with reviewing about 70% of all orders to ensure the technology functions correctly. Essentially, what was advertised as an AI-driven innovation is, in reality, a workforce-driven operation.

Gonzal** humorously delves into the implications of this revelation, questioning why Amazon felt the need to mislead the public. The company began implementing this technology in stores as early as 2016, but even by 2023, it still required significant human oversight. This raises important questions about the transparency and ethical responsibilities of tech giants like Amazon.

In this video, Gonzal** doesn't stop at Amazon. He broadens the discussion to include other tech products that have missed the mark, using a metaphorical baseball game where the batter is so far off that he's****ting spectators instead of the ball. One notable mention is the Humane AI Pin, another technological flop that failed to live up to its hype.
