Oklahoma, Alabama Now Have AI-Powered Vending Machines That Sell Bullets
In a questionable new trend, supermarkets in the South now seem to be selling bullets right out of a dispenser.

How does it need to be AI? It's a vending machine. Are you suppose to describe what you plan to shoot and it suggest a specific ammo? Oh it's looks like you plan to highjack a plane, I recommend Hollow point .22 short to insure it will stay in the body and not breaching the pressurized hull.
It's OK & AL, we all know the AI is just to determine weather or not they're white enough to vend to.
It needs to be AI so it can refuse to sell you ammo if your skin is too dark.
For reasons, there are laws against selling "handgun ammunition" to people under 21. 18-21 year olds can buy rifle ammunition.
So the vending machine takes ID and scans the person to see if they match the photo.
Oh, man. Vendors of OCR software can make big money now by rebranding as “AI-powered”.
Still does not require AI. Any program can scan an ID.
I believe it is the part where it scans the person's face to see if it matches the ID that is being called AI. I don't know if that meets the technical definition or not, but that's what they marketing is calling AI here.
LPT: Actual AI still does not exist, when you see something described as AI, it's bullshit. The closest thing we have to AI is machine learning, but that's more glorified text prediction than it is actual general artificial intelligence. A lot of things advertised as being "AI" aren't even really that.
