A top analyst has warned that Amazon's potential embrace of AI shopping bots could have negative consequences, specifically that it might 'kill the golden goose'. This warning comes as the company, founded by Jeff Bezos, explores new technologies to enhance customer experience. The warning suggests that over-reliance on AI could harm the company's core business model.

The analyst's warning serves as a reminder that social commerce companies must carefully consider the role of AI in their strategies to avoid alienating customers.
