Amazon is laying off or has lost truly staggering numbers of experienced staff.
So it might not be AI, although my experience with AI suggests it's right about 60% of the time and there's no way I would let it implement it's own recommendations anywhere near anything that earned me money.
It might just be cheaper, younger, newer staff making mistakes they don't know how to fix.
