This has nothing to do with AI, consumers don't have any cash left and sales are falling off a cliff. Remember how they had to extend Prime Days?

"Blames AI" is a weird way to put it, and I think that was on purpose, to deflect comments from the real reason. Not talking about the recession we are currently in is the equivalent of going to the pub and waiting for it blow over.
