Memphis-Shelby County Schools students return to the classroom on Monday. FOX13 tested three AI chatbots to find the cheapest school supply prices. Using ChatGPT, FOX13 pretended to be a parent of a 7th grader at Craigmont Middle School and a 4th grader at Wells Elementary, uploading screenshots of dated supply lists. ChatGPT recommended shopping at Walmart and Dollar Tree, estimating a budget of about $100 at both stores, and suggested ordering the clear backpack online. Microsoft Copilot also recommended Walmart, gave price estimations for most items, and suggested buying tissues, wipes and hand sanitizer at Dollar Tree. Copilot recommended shopping in early to mid-August and recommended bigger Walmart supercenters in Raleigh, Cordova and Southaven, with a budget estimation of about $100. Google Gemini did not let FOX13 upload specific supply lists and gave a cost estimation way below the predictions of ChatGPT and Copilot, but reminded of tax-free weekend. The article notes none of these tools are totally accurate but are good jumping-off points, and recommends double checking price accuracy on store websites.
