I agree. And it’s not just the public as a whole. My local news ran a story about how they’re going to be doing this on an individual level. The example they used was for fast food, but it would apply for what they’re doing in grocery stores as well. The example was a woman pulls up to a fast food chain with her children and their friends in the car. They order and the price is significantly increased because the AI has identified that she does this once a week on that particular day and realizes that she’s going to be willing to pay it. And then the car behind her pulls up, and they could order the same exact thing that she ordered, but they would get it for a lower price.

Individualized price surging is the fresh hell that’s even worse than applying it on the whole to a larger population.
