Order from Amazon for me (blocked mid-task)

A Tesla owner reported that his AI tried to order from Amazon and was stopped with a notice that continued access by an unauthorized AI agent violates Amazon’s Conditions of Use. He posted that his bots could no longer access Amazon at all.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

The AI opens Amazon to place the order
Amazon serves an unauthorized-agent notice
Bot cannot continue
Owner posts the block

Why it’s worth knowing

A retailer served the agent a terms-of-use wall mid-task, ending the errand outright.
