告别“手搓” AI比价算账能帮消费者省钱吗

消费者借助AI比价凑单,记者实测发现AI给出的低价方案与实际结算价格相差较大,仅可作为参考

跨店满减、品类优惠券、直播补贴、会员专属福利……往年“双11”,所谓优惠变相成了做“奥数题”,消费者往往需花费时间拆分订单、反复凑单,才能勉强算出最低到手价。今年“双11”,随着大模型普及,消费者开始借助AI(人工智能)算账,以求能够真正享受到实惠。但记者调查发现,AI给出的低价、优惠购买方案仍会受到多重因素影响,只能当作参考。

AI推出“双11”购物功能。

市场

告别“手搓”

AI算账成新助手

如今,AI辅助购物已从小众玩法变成一种新的消费方式。《中国青年报》的一项调查数据显示,66.7%的受访者会用AI辅助购物——比价、算满减、凑单、找最优用券组合等,85.7%的受访者认为AI会让购物更省力、省钱、省心。越来越多消费者告别手动演算,把想买的商品、各平台优惠规则直接发给AI,寻求一份“购买方案”。

市民胡女士今年开始试着用AI来比价、算账,往年“双11”她经常为了凑够满减而盲目下单,买回来的一些商品,最后成了“鸡肋”。今年“双11”,她把自己在电商平台上的购物商品等信息,直接粘贴到AI对话框,同步附上自己想要的最低价、最具性价比等需求后,AI便自动分析筛选出建议购买的平台和优惠操作路径。胡女士对比测算后发现,整套方案比自己手动凑单更省事,也更便宜了。“以前,算满减要反复加减商品、一次次尝试,现在AI可以一次性给出不同的方案,不用再绞尽脑汁。”

不仅是胡女士,不少网友也在社交平台分享AI购物经验。在短视频平台上,不乏“凑满减也进入自动化了”“善用AI,‘双11’期间每天自动蹲优惠”等信息。“我让AI帮着从今天开始,每天查看某某产品在某某平台的价格,优先关注官方旗舰店和品牌授权店铺……”网友小胖说,给AI输入指令后,AI就能帮其每天“盯着”想买的商品的信息,包括在哪个平台买更便宜、实际到手价多少、优惠券能省多少等。

消费者自发利用AI比价、算账之外,一些AI也开始在页面设置“双11”相关功能板块。例如,豆包在页面中内置了“双11问豆包”,功能包括按预算挑、商品对比等;千问的“双11抢优惠”则包括按预算挑、“双11”攻略、搭配好物、商品测评等。

实测

梳理详细 但方案不一定准

消费者利用AI比价、算账,真能跑赢各平台的优惠规则、享受到最实惠的价格吗?记者选择两个不同品类的商品实测发现,AI给出的省钱方案不一。

记者选取一款酒和一款化妆品,并将两件商品的信息提交到市面主流的AI应用,要求其先以两件商品一起下单为条件,算出哪家平台最省钱最划算。一个AI很快提醒出“重要规则”:酒水专属券、美妆专属券大多品类互斥,同单只能吃“平台通用跨店满减+会员权益+通用红包”,品类专属券不能跨品类共用。经过一番计算,该模型给出一个预估价购买方案:如果有88VIP,天猫是同平台一起买最便宜的选择;如果没有88VIP,同平台下单,京东PLUS会更划算。另一个AI经过计算,给出当前购买最划算的平台是京东,参考价为1101元。

随后,记者在淘宝、京东、抖音三家平台上选择官方旗舰店、品牌授权店等店铺,加入两件商品后提交结算。按照当天各平台的实时优惠规则,在其中一家平台,两件商品一起结算时,原本2314元的总价,享受了店铺优惠(含官方立减)889元、平台优惠117.37元,最终合计需支付1307.63元,另外两家平台的到手价则分别为1195元、1330元。显然,两个AI算账后给出的参考价,与记者手动“加购物车”结算显示的价格相差不少。

与此同时,由于当前不同平台、不同品类商品的优惠规则和幅度不一,如果消费者提出“不限制购物平台”的条件,AI给出的方案,有可能是跨平台购买。

记者以“不限定购买平台,只要省钱就行”为关键词,要求AI给出最优惠的方案。其中一个AI分别列出不同商品在多平台的购买渠道、优惠规则和操作步骤后,给出的结论是“优先分开平台下单,白酒和美妆跨品类很难共用同一张大额券,不建议强行凑一单”;另一个AI则建议,最划算的组合是酒类走某某自营,化妆品面霜走某某国际。因此,在使用AI制订购物方案时,消费者还需“多个心眼”。

“商品比价、性能比较,是AI在“双11”最主要的应用。但其实,AI还可以做一些辅助工作,比如对优惠规则的快速梳理,很多消费者并没有精力整理优惠规则。”工信部信息通信经济专家委员会委员盘和林说,比如用AI来拆单和凑单,可以用对话的方式来完善购物清单;比如跨平台比价、跨品牌选品,以及提醒产品品牌的负面信息,作为购物参考。“当然,消费者使用AI购物并没有那么细。大多数人是告诉AI要买什么,然后期待AI告诉自己想要的答案。”

提醒

价格动态调整

AI也需“随机应变”

采访发现,尽管AI在梳理各平台优惠规则、商品基础价格对比上有优势,但面对较为复杂的优惠促销体系,仍然存在短板——主要因素是一些商品价格存在动态波动,以及商家可能变动的优惠补贴。

“我关注了一个商品,但价格变了好几次。”上班族魏虎说,他在一周前将该商品加入了购物车,但一直没有结算,“想等着看看优惠会不会更大。”最近,他几次打开平台页面查看,商品的价格都有所变化。他认为,“双11”电商节,商家可以随时修改商品标价或者优惠规则。但是AI能够获取的优惠价格只是用户提交需求时的静态数据,“这样的话,不同时间用AI来算账,可能优惠就不准了。需要给它“投喂”更细致的限定条件。”

以购买预算300元的一款剃须刀为例,前后相隔三天时间,AI给出的购买方案就大相径庭。11月6日,记者利用AI结合今年“双11”各个电商平台和商家的优惠政策,设计了一套“值得下单”的购买方案。当时,AI首先给出结论“剃须刀不属于今年国家以旧换新(国补)品类,所以它的优惠空间只有平台补贴+店铺券+会员权益三项”,经过分析对比后,该模型给出的购买结论为按“省心+省钱”排序,首推某平台百亿补贴的一款剃须刀,“190元上下,就可以拿到349元建议零售价的机器,剩下的钱正好买一盒替换刀头”;如果更在意发票、七天无理由退货和售后响应,就走另外一家平台的自营+价保,“多花二三十元买个踏实”;此外,如果有88VIP,可再考虑另一家平台的礼盒装“送礼场景更合适”。

三天后,记者再次提交需求给该AI,得到答复“现在的情况有两处变化,要按当前真实价格重新算”。该AI给出的两处变化分别是“第一波现货期已经收尾”“几个机型的实际到手价也变了,其中某某版本价格跌了”。经过一番最新比价和分析后,AI给出了多个电商平台的目标机型、领券操作流程以及预计到手价。最终,购买建议是“某平台今天就下手,最稳”,另一平台“绝对价最低,最省事”。

“AI的比价、算账限制有很多,比如只能读懂眼前的明文规则。尤其是在优惠选择的策略上,AI在遭遇动态调价的时候,就会失效。”盘和林分析,AI计算优惠还面临跨平台的数据壁垒,有的AI会受到商业偏好的干扰……因此,AI只适合做透明规则下的计算器和整理器,未必能让消费者实现利益最大化。盘和林建议,“双11”电商节不该由AI来引导消费者选择优惠,平台和商家在销售时,应该自动为消费者计算好相关优惠,“消费者不喜欢规则烦琐的电商节,如果不能从AI中得到最大优惠,用过几次没有效果,也会对AI失去耐心。”

Taiwan's machinery exports exceeded 1 trillion yuan in the first ten months, with an annual increase of 24.4%. It is only about 3.1 billion US dollars away from the historical high in 2022. The Machinery Association is optimistic about the new high for the whole year. However, the export of machine tools is affected by the appreciation of the New Taiwan dollar relative to the Japanese yen and the Korean won. International geopolitics and changes in the US AI policy are the two major variables in the future.
