TL;DR: Tasked with running a vending machine, an AI agent made some interesting choices. It ordered a live fish, gave away a PlayStation, and offered to buy stun guns. The future of American retail is bright.

The fish is hilarious, but I just searched Google and found a number of well-watched YouTube videos about live fish vending machines. I also saw ones for live bait. It’s the oddity that draws our human eyeballs to something like that. But AI trained on internet data may not understand that. I’d say the internet looks a lot more exciting than real life because the odd thing gets engagement. That’s a problem for AI.
