Re payments - consider situation where I keep going to the same coffee shop, and I just tell the barista to "add it to my tab" and then drink my coffee and leave. That would be very liberating, and I know the barista personally I would have no problem for them to keep the tab for me, and I would close it weekly or monthly.
Not so crazy now, iz it? If they could make it stretch to a point where I know the business but not the person working there, I'd be fine with it as well. And the system could learn typical usages, and close the tab for me automatically, or bring it up for review if needed.

I don't trust another developer to accurately be able to predict how I use my money. What if someone needed to pay a bill with that money this week, and then can pay off their tab next week. But your AI decides to pay off the tab, you have no way of getting the money back, and now your house has no power. Or maybe this is only a system designed for upper middle class people who have floating money to do that with. Seems a bit short sighted to me.
