A Forrester ConsumerVoices survey in March 2026 of consumers in the US, UK and Canada finds more than two in five respondents would blame the answer engine for problems when using it for commerce-related tasks. The report notes OpenAI ended its Instant Checkout and partnered with Amazon, saying native answer-engine checkout lacks inventory, delivery, loyalty and post-purchase capabilities.
