    Wasn’t there a car dealer bot that was promising cars for 5 dollars or something alike?

      Interesting. A quick search around finds someone confusing a bot into selling them a Chevy Tahoe for $1 at the end of last year.

      Can’t tell whether that one went to court. I can see an argument that a reasonable person ought to think that something was wrong with the bot or the deal, especially since they deliberately confused the bot, making a strong case in favour of the dealership.

      Now, if they’d haggled it down to half price without being quite so obvious, that might have made an interesting court case.
