I can't wait to see AI agent catfishing another AI agent😂😂

The question is not whether it can get beyond the hype stage. The question is whether it is more effective from a profit generating perspective if customers are lost due to its use. Consider that.

Web1 was all about launching a website
Web2 was all about launching a social media profile
Web3 was all about launching a token
Web4 is all about launching an agent

2024: Age of AI Agents to replace entire pipelines
2025: The age of joblessness
2026: Surprised pikachu face?

[shirish]

All the companies which announced "huge impact because of AI" are actually the companies which are selling AI!

[vinceliardi]

The notion that AI Agents, with their ability to automate entire workflows, will just free up humans to do the creative work is only one half of the full story. You're being handed the rose-colored glasses and ushered into the spin zone. Cathy is blatantly ignoring the fact that there will be massive, irreversible job losses directly caused by the automation of entire workflows via agentic AI. I just wish these tech reporters were more candid about that.

[WealthyChronicle]

This is spot on! AI agents are definitely the next big thing. I can't wait to see how they'll free up our time for more creative work. Anyone else excited about this?

[JT-mrdb]

Huge money making potential around wiring up agents and also building non trivial interfaces to them.

Don’t sleep on this people.

The problem with ai content production is actually that there is more than enough of derivative content already. The problem is rather to find the interesting, original content. And that was something where past implementations of ai did help a lot. I don't need an ai to summerise a complex problem for me, I prefer humans to do this for me. I'm just happy if the ai guides me through all the trash towards sincerely original content, as it did in the past.

[tofusats]

I think this tech will be huge during 2025. With new development, and platforms such as Mode network working tirelessly to bring AI Agents closer to the audience with wide variety of use cases available, I'd say we're looking at something great right here

[nixic_]

I've been shitting on AI for years now but I actually got a great Google AI response earlier on a stupidly posed question. I'm converted now.

[GMThePeople]

"Cathy Gao" is an anagram for "Achy Goat". o/

[AkioHonnami]

I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated! thanks to kye tower

[brettyoung]

too early. O1 still makes tons of mistakes. its always the non-technical people shilling towards agents. Its just an LLM with a memory base and tools. Eg it's very limited. Its not happening this year

[learnbydoingwithsteven]

Simply put: the key issue is precision and hallucination. And the language model innovation is disruptive.

[BojanKvakic-jd]

it's really crazy how nobody is talking about the book the hidden path to manifesting financial power

[yavarjn]

We will be out of jobs folks and have to fight for jobs in try-outs, like the ones joker offered to two guys after killing their boss.

[NolbiaStillman]

I recently read an article about a man who identified AI stocks before the AI boom, highlighting the importance of information and insight. I believe AI is poised to enter a new phase, and I aim to position my $200k investment portfolio to capitalize on significant gains.

[WirelessGus]

BS, AI Agents are years away from being dependable.

[politicsoutwest]

An AI agent could have done a better job at this interview than these two.
When will stock market analysts be replaced by AI agents I wonder?
