    That’s literally how it’s been done for decades. I used to do the purchasing for a 7-11. There already are systems in place they just require a human to actually judge based on the sales data and an understanding of stuff like the weather, seasonal trends, etc. to make the final decision of what to actually order. They tried to replace the only human element left in the supply chain and of course it worked horribly.

      and it might have worked if it was hooked up to enough inputs like NWS 7-day forecasts and state DOT road closures through a series of rules rather than the hallucination machine.
