    When i see advertisments i always remember the line “advertising causes need” from the song Chic ‘N’ Stu. Majority of the time it works and i end up saving some money on stuff i dont need.

    I see a challenge. First challenge, see who can get the “AI” (<– I hate society’s use of that term when it’s wrong) to recommend a specific item by picking up the fewest items.
