This is the first wave of a new generation of Apps which has the potential to replace/enhance the majority of e-commerce websites.

I wouldn't underestimate it - it's the hammer can break up the information silos we've built up around websites/apps.

Why prompt Gertrude(tm) on Ramazon for a specific thing you need, if you can ask ChatGPT to find you said thing along with UIs to purchase it across all e-commerce platforms that agree to play in this market?

because the secret is that the web runs on advertising/targeted recommendations. Brezos(tm) wants you to actively browse Ramazon so he can harvest your data, search patterns etc. Amazon and most sites like that are very not crawl friendly for this reason. Why would Brezos let Saltman get all the juicy preference data?
