If this ever gets popular then sellers will “optimize” their product listings to exploit the LLM (a “soft” prompt injection if you will). This will definitely be the case in marketplaces (like Amazon and Walmart). It’ll turn the old boring task of shopping into a fun puzzle to spot the decoy item or overpriced product.

I do think it’s a concern but I think it’s no different than the exact problem that exists today in these marketplace operations like Amazon. I know for me I will actually split my shopping up and often shop less with an Amazon and more with a Walmart because of it.
