    How does it need to be AI? It’s a vending machine. Are you suppose to describe what you plan to shoot and it suggest a specific ammo? Oh it’s looks like you plan to highjack a plane, I recommend Hollow point .22 short to insure it will stay in the body and not breaching the pressurized hull.

      It’s OK & AL, we all know the AI is just to determine weather or not they’re white enough to vend to.

      For reasons, there are laws against selling “handgun ammunition” to people under 21. 18-21 year olds can buy rifle ammunition.

      So the vending machine takes ID and scans the person to see if they match the photo.

          I believe it is the part where it scans the person’s face to see if it matches the ID that is being called AI. I don’t know if that meets the technical definition or not, but that’s what they marketing is calling AI here.

            LPT: Actual AI still does not exist, when you see something described as AI, it’s bullshit. The closest thing we have to AI is machine learning, but that’s more glorified text prediction than it is actual general artificial intelligence. A lot of things advertised as being “AI” aren’t even really that.

    CP77, the vending machiens that sell disposable pistols (that suck. heh.)

    you’d think that’d be a recipe for, you know, getting a bunch of armed robbers hitting you store, but nooo. totally only going to be frequented by <checks notes> good guys with a gun.

    (if you’re going to rob the store, rob the machine first, yeah?)

      Is your premise that robbers will show up to a store with guns but no ammo, rip off the vending machine for ammo, and then rob the store?

        No my premise is the next is vending machines with firearms. Because dystopian hellholes are like that.

    Lol you people do realize you can buy ammo online right? A vending machine is just a poor try to remove someone checking out your purchase in a store.

    The ignorance around here for anything guns is hilarious.

    Everyone here complaining about it, do y’all really want to go back to the days of having to smash up random crates in secret rooms to find the matching ammo of the 6 different types of guns you are holding?

    I swear to fuck I read “Voting machines” and I had to read three times before I got it right. Yet I would barely be surprised if that’s a thing in a couple of years if Trump wins the election. “Vote for the Republicans, get a free bullet to kill a Democrat”

    We passed by his store that is apparently still in existence on a trip to Indianapolis recently, so I got to tell my daughter about the commercials that Don used to make for Don’s Guns back in the 80s and 90s and how they were pretty much universally mocked for being so creepy with the bizarre tagline and laugh.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAOBIERJR98

    And then today I read this and I feel like Don was on the sane end of things.
