Thus far I didn't have to worry about ChatGPT having bad incentives when giving me advice on product purchases. Now that "Merchants pay a small fee on completed purchases", will the model steer me towards ACP-supported retailers at a higher rate?

This will be worst for consumers, like DoorDash or Uber eats.

DoorDash takes 15-30% of fees from restaurants so restaurants raise their prices and consumers have to pay service fee and a delivery fee and tip.

Be ready to pay more at sites that have this enabled.

Presumably yes, but if I’m using an agent to make purchases, I’d prefer it to use sites where it can safely make a purchase anyway. The optimal UI would probably leave it up to me. One system should find products, independently of whether a vendor of them supports “ACP.” And I should be able to configure my agent to “only purchase where ACP is supported.” In the context of a conversation, I’d expect it to show me all the products it found, and offer to refine the list to include only ACP vendors.
