> Buying a sofa. You want to filter for sofas of a specific size, with certain features

This jumped out to me as well. Even sites like Amazon lack per-item-cost sorting, which can be really helpful when buying in bulk. Historically we've seen people use scraping and data science to build sites like https://diskprices.com/; without using LLMs. If LLMs are useful for those types of tasks, perhaps we'll see a surge in similar sites instead of end users doing prompt engineering in their browser.

It looks like nextdoor supports blocking users, although other sites may not.

Yeah definitely. Also a problem when buying by weight or length. Length will be especially challenging for an LLM, as it needs to pick the right dimension.
