I have to admit it's really hard for me to take the noise about agents seriously because they keep bringing up using it for things that don't feel like chores to me, but are actually kind of delightful. I like the anticipation and excitement of planning for the big holiday. I like shopping online for new books or clothes or what have you. Suppose for a moment that agents worked 100% flawlessly (suspend whatever disbelief you have for a moment and roll with it) a large chunk of the web is still, actually, quite fun for quite a lot of people. Even if the information on the website is just as accessible through a chat interface as it is through a web browser, the website is still probably cooler and has a more fun experience vs using a chat interface. Obviously not all websites are like this, but the ones I care about are.
