Tangentially related, I get strong Metaverse/NFT vibes around predictions on agents. Namely, a lot of predictions were made around NFTs that just didn’t make sense or were kind of dumb. My pet favorite was this notion that in the future you could bring your NFTs with you to different games and the like. You could buy a Batman NFT costume and have your guy wear it while playing metaverse World of Warcraft. They basically took Ready Player One and ran with it. Besides the fact that this is much harder to do than they could imagine, it’s also kind of a goofy idea. I feel the same way with predictions made around AI agents. My pet favorite is the notion that we stop using the internet and delegate everything to our agents. Planning a trip? Let an AI agent handle things for you. Shopping? Likewise, let an agent handle your purchases. In the future ads won’t even be targeted at people, they’ll target agents instead, and pretty soon agents won’t even browse the internet but talk to other agents instead. Is it feasible? I can’t say. I’m more interested in how goofy it all sounds. The notion that you no longer have buyer preferences while your agent gets served ads, or the notion of planning that trip to Rome or whatever and just entrusting the agent with the itinerary as if it won’t come up with unoriginal suggestions. Work agents make more sense in general, but the sentiment remains.
