March 11 2026 - Interactive ChatGPT, Amazon’s AI Wars, Gemini in IndiaInteractive ChatGPT, Amazon’s AI Wars, Gemini in India

Welcome back to the pod. It is Wednesday, and dude, we have a packed show today. I am Taylor, bringing you the latest AI news.

**Morgan** (0:10)
And I am Morgan. I will be the one asking if any of this actually matters, or if it is just more hype. Ready to dive in?

**Taylor** (0:18)
So ready. We are talking ChatGPT getting visual, Amazon throwing down in court, Amazon also doing healthcare, and Google expanding Gemini globally.

**Morgan** (0:30)
A very Amazon-heavy Wednesday, it seems. Let us get into it before they try to block us too.

**Taylor** (0:36)
Okay, first up from TechCrunch and The Decoder, ChatGPT can now explain math and physics using interactive visualizations, like actual interactive graphs.

**Morgan** (0:49)
Wait, interactive? So not just spitting out a static image of a sine wave or a block of Python code that you have to run yourself?

**Taylor** (0:57)
Exactly! You can actually tweak variables right there in the chat and watch the graphs update in real time. It is so cool, dude.

**Morgan** (1:06)
Okay, I have to admit, that sounds genuinely useful for students. But how many topics are we talking about here? Just basic algebra?

**Taylor** (1:15)
Apparently, there are more than 70 concepts available right at launch. It is totally changing how you study science and math.

**Morgan** (1:23)
I mean, if it actually works without hallucinating the physics, a wrong interactive graph is worse than no graph at all, especially for a student learning it for the first time.

**Taylor** (1:34)
True, but imagine learning orbital mechanics or calculus and just dragging a slider to see what happens. It beats reading a dry textbook any day.

**Morgan** (1:44)
Fair point. Visualizing complex data dynamically is a huge step up from text-based reasoning. Do we know if this is available on the mobile app or just desktop?

**Taylor** (1:54)
From what I saw, it is rolling out across the web interface first. I was playing with a pendulum simulation earlier and it was just mesmerizing. It feels like a real tutor now.

**Morgan** (2:06)
Let us hope the school see it as a tutor and not a cheating device. I can already hear the teachers panicking about homework. But yeah, solid feature update from OpenAI.

**Taylor** (2:15)
I am definitely going to use it to brush up on some of my old physics concepts.

**Morgan** (2:21)
Just do not let it build any actual rockets for you in the backyard just yet, okay?

**Taylor** (2:27)
Moving on to some drama. I saw on the decoder that Amazon just got a court order blocking Perplexity's AI shopping agent.

**Morgan** (2:37)
Oh wow. I knew Amazon would not just sit back while AI startups scraped their marketplace. What exactly is the injunction doing?

**Taylor** (2:45)
So Amazon basically stopped Perplexity's shopping bot in its tracks. They are saying like you cannot just bypass our site to buy stuff.

**Morgan** (2:54)
Right, because Amazon's entire business model relies on you being on their site, seeing their sponsored ads and using their checkout flow.

**Taylor** (3:03)
Totally. But dude, imagine how convenient an AI agent would be, just telling Perplexity buy me the best cheap headphones on Amazon.

**Morgan** (3:13)
Convenient for us, sure, but legally it is a nightmare. This ruling could completely shape the future of AI agents in e-commerce.

**Taylor** (3:23)
You think this means other retailers are gonna start suing AI companies too? Like, is the dream of autonomous shopping dead already?

**Morgan** (3:31)
Not dead, but they will have to pay for API access. Amazon is setting a precedent here. You can not just scrape their data and profit off their inventory without paying the toll.

**Taylor** (3:42)
Man, that is a bummer. I really wanted an AI to just handle all my boring household restocking without me having to open an app and scroll through reviews.

**Morgan** (3:53)
You still can, but you will probably have to use Amazon's own AI for it, which keeps the money in their ecosystem. They want to own the agent, not just be the warehouse for Perplexity.

**Taylor** (4:04)
Yeah, that makes sense. It just sucks for the startups trying to build these universal assistants that do everything for you.

**Morgan** (4:12)
It is the classic walled garden problem. The tech is ready, but the business models are going to war over who gets the transaction fee.

**Taylor** (4:21)
Speaking of Amazon's own AI, they just launched a new healthcare AI assistant on their website and app, according to TechCrunch.

**Morgan** (4:30)
Wait, really? Amazon is pushing deeper into health care? What exactly is this AI assistant supposed to do for patients?

**Taylor** (4:38)
It is wild. It can answer health questions, explain your medical records, manage prescription renewals, and even book appointments for you.
