Technologically and mathematically this is all quite interesting. However, I have no desire to ever use an agent and I doubt there are many that will.

No desire because you don't need them to optimize anything for yourself, or ?

    So far the agentic stuff seems focused on shopping. Online shopping is remarkably seamless and optimized for me so the potential productivity gain is not enticing.

    I’ve encountered a number of errors dealing with LLMs so would be wary of the results.

    I also think there’d be an incentive to enshittify by having vendors pay to get preferential prioritization from the LLM. This could result in worse products being delivered for higher prices.
