I still have to understand what my AI agents could do that I don't want to do myself. Buy stuff? No thanks, I want to see what I buy. I think that they are 99% a solution in search of a problem.

Same. Well the biggest thing I don't want to do that they could help with is work. But in the cases where it can do that for me, there's no world where that benefit goes to me rather than my employer.

		Well, that's the very nature of the employer / employee relationship. In my case I write software for my customers and I trade time for money. If I use an AI to write code two times faster my daily rate doesn't double. However I can keep my costumers. That's only another step in the path I experienced since the 80s, when I had to type every single character because there was no auto complete, no command line history, very few libraries. I was very good at writing trees, hash tables, linked lists and so was everybody else. Nobody would hire me if I were that slow at writing code today.
