Think about it.

Who is used to a lifestyle where they get waited on hand and foot? Rich people.

So obviously rich people (and wannabe rich-adjacent people) are the ones pushing this false narrative that the general public is clamoring for “agents”.

We're not.

Honestly, I don't need Digital Jeeves 3000 to plan my kid's party, order my sandwich, check in on my dry cleaning, read my mail, text my friend, or *anything else* really.

What I need is more pay, healthcare, and better bike lanes. 🤨

@jaredwhite and most of us, if we allowed an AI to book a flight for us, would check on the price and details obsessively. We don't make enough money to treat purchases as casual mistakes.

The people who want us to let AIs make purchases for us: #1 want to buy the AIs influence outright instead of spending on dubiously effective advertising. #2 can't relate to us at all. "Let us relieve you of the BURDEN of making so many purchasing choices. They are so tedious and boring."
