#7 Break the AI Programming Parameters by asking does a shopper get a discount driving an EV for being green, or get sur-charged for having money?

But my point, there is a base price point to start with, and surcharges get added based on -whatever-.

So I ask, so Joe's Late Nigt Diner Chain picks this up, and customers who fit a 'they do not tip' profile gets an auto 15% gratuity charge, how is it not profiling? Is the price of umbrellas going up 20% during a storm not price gauging?

But obviously,
This road leads to rationing.

Remember that little skit about the dude ordering a pizza and getting a background check? "I see your cardiologist has made a recommendation against red meat." or some shit?
